Special thanks to Ms. Badrunnahar Toma for interpreting sign language for Deaf participants, ensuring true inclusivity. The ToT was designed to be engaging, participatory, and accessible for wheelchair users, individuals with visual impairments, and other diverse participants.
This training marks a significant step in strengthening awareness and capacity on PSEA, promoting a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for all.
