From today, more than 750 police personnel will undergo gender‑responsive policing training aimed at improving handling of gender‑related cases.
The police department launched a gender‑responsive policing training program today, enrolling over 750 officers from across the country. The initiative is designed to equip law‑enforcement personnel with the skills needed to handle gender‑related crimes more sensitively and effectively.
The curriculum covers gender sensitivity, relevant legal provisions, victim‑centred response techniques, and scenario‑based exercises. Trainers include experts in gender studies and senior police officials who guide participants through practical case studies.
Authorities say the program forms part of a wider effort to strengthen the police force’s capacity to address crimes against women, transgender and other vulnerable groups, aligning with national objectives on gender safety.
By integrating these modules into regular police training, the ministry aims to foster a more inclusive and responsive policing culture, ultimately improving public trust and safety outcomes.
