A training was organized for National Association of Local Self-Government staff on the topic: “Investigation of sexual harassment cases in the workplace using a victim-oriented approach“.

The purpose of the training was to raise participants’ awareness of international and national standards regulating sexual harassment, prevention mechanisms, as well as the principles and practice of victim-oriented approach.

Participants discussed mechanisms for identifying, preventing and responding to sexual harassment, psychological aspects of sexual harassment, underlying causes and consequences, and common myths and stereotypes about sexual harassment. Throughout the day, special attention was paid to practical exercises and the specifics of conducting interviews when communicating with potential victims. The training was led by Goga Khatiashvili, a trainer from UN Women.

It should be noted that the sexual harassment prevention and response mechanism at NALAGbecame operational at the beginning of 2025. Its purpose is to create an environment free from sexual harassment and discrimination within the organization and to ensure timely, effective and accountability-oriented response to such cases.
