Following on from the practical workshops conducted as part of the LIBRE project, the ASF France experts and the acting project manager had the honour of being received by the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Mr Yaya Kairaba KABA, in the presence of his chief of staff and his advisers. During this meeting, the Minister emphasised his commitment to human rights and his commitment to supporting the fight against gender-based violence (GBV). He also assured us of his full cooperation by appointing a focal point responsible for monitoring the LIBRE project. This is a key step in strengthening access to justice and improving the care of victims.
