A short half day "Training of Healthcare workers on management of violence against women including sexual offences" was organised at the MRRH conference hall today. Resourced by Dr Pakila Dukpa, Bhutan's only forensic expert, it covered a wide range of issues like domestic violence, womens and childrens' rights, sexual offences, laws on rape, crisis intervention and sampling techniques in medico legal issues. Similar program is being conducted in all other districts taking this important issue all over the country with a particular emphasis of sensitising the health care workers.
By the way VAW stands for Violence Against Women.
