Italian female soldiers stationed
in Herat took part on Thursday in a seminar to raise awareness
about gender-based violence.
Representatives from the Afghan education, justice and
women's affairs ministries as well as ones from local women's
rights organizations, the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF)
and numerous TAAC-W female soldiers participated in the seminar
at Camp Arena, the headquarters of Train Advise Assist Command
West (TAAC-W) of the Italian-led Joint Multinational Command.
The meeting is one of several initiatives underway to
foster equal rights through support for female-led business and
inclusiveness towards disabled individuals.
The Italian contingent has opened Camp Arena to this
disadvantaged group for the display and sale of their craft
products.
