 In a bid to build trust and confidence of survivors of various and seeks for justice in the society, International Alert with support of United Kingdom UK aid has trained community first respondents on psychological first aid to victims of sexual and gender-based violence and other assaults and caduna. The training aims at occupying first responders who are security personnel, military health workers and community members with right skills first contact to support survivors and protect their identity against stigmatization in communities. Skills on how to administer psychosocial support. In most cases when survivors either visit safety or security personnel, doctors, nurses, people in different institutions, they don't get the required information that they need or support. This support can be either cancelled, it can be referral to legal services either to regain properties they have lost or document sometimes because of improper documentation and lack of respect for data protection protocol having this training so that first responders actually treat survivors with dignity and they also ensure that they adhere to data protection protocols by respecting the wishes and the privacy of survivors. Also the manager of Salama Sexual Assault Referral Center Governor Awon General Hospital Kakuri Kaduna says SGBV cases under increase at the center with 20 to 30 every month. She recommended Kaduna State Government for taking the fight against SGBV very seriously appealing to victims parents and guardians to speak out and report cases and not to die in silence. We are concerned more about the survivor's well-being and also the support they get from the moment they are abused medical attention psychosocial support to the point where they get the report to the station and then get justice. Kaduna State has taken the fight against SGBV very seriously that's why we even have four centers report cases when they occur because most times there's this history of silence people keep quiet because there's a lot of stigma around sexual and gender-based violence. This training will really help me to know my limitation in terms of giving care. That's why in the first eight treatment to me because I've been offering this treatment but I've never known my boundaries I just give it anyhow now I know the real objective the aim and where to start and where to stop and the types of the care I'm supposed to give to the survivor. If on this left you find yourself being in contact with these survivors always and you might be going out of your way to do things thank you you're doing the right thing by the reason of this training I believe it has helped me as a person and I will not withhold the knowledge I've got in this training I will extend it to my you know subordinates and my superiors because it will help us to know how to treat survivors now you know how to treat them so that they will start rebuilding the confidence.
