INFAS: The Fight Against Sexual Violence Becomes Central to Training

In Abidjan on October 15, INFAS and its partners reviewed the PASSAGE project, funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented since 2021. The project helped revise nursing and midwifery training programs, introduce new teaching methods, and improve equipment for practical work and simulation. One key outcome is an institutional policy to prevent and address sexual violence, strengthening prevention, case management, and referrals for those affected. INFAS Director General Professor Méliane N’Dhatz-Ebagnitchié épouse Sanogo called for these gains to be sustained beyond the project’s funding period.
