The Gender Unit of UNMIS conducted a 5-day gender awareness training workshop in Bengali for 216 Bangladeshi peacekeepers serving in South Sudan. The workshop covered topics such as gender roles, sexual exploitation and abuse, and women's issues in conflict situations. Participant feedback was positive, with most feeling expectations and objectives were met. However, some requested additional trainings on topics like HIV/AIDS and child protection. In total, over 1,600 Bangladeshi peacekeepers in the area remained to be trained on gender and related issues.
