In the context of the 2007 flood emergency response in Yemeni, Shahnawaz Chachar conducted six two-day training sessions for local NGOs/CBOs (Community Based Organizations) and media workers operating in the affected areas of District Kamber Shahdadkot and Larkana. These vital training sessions were organized by Takhleeq Foundation, with support from Care International, and focused specifically on critical protection issues arising in emergency situations. The training curriculum covered a range of relevant topics, including child protection in emergencies, prevention and response to gender-based violence, human rights violations in disaster contexts, and the role of media in promoting protection and disseminating accurate information. This training initiative aimed to enhance the capacity of local actors, including NGOs, CBOs, and media professionals, to effectively protect vulnerable populations during and after disasters, ensuring that humanitarian assistance and recovery efforts were conducted in a way that respected and upheld the rights and dignity of all affected individuals.
