In November and December 2021, 56 case managers and investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) participated in three 2-day training sessions on psychological aspects of communication with perpetrators of sexual violence.

The aim of this capacity activity was to support the MIA’ staff in the implementation of human-rights compliant principles of effective communication with victims and offenders of sexual violence, including juvenile related cases. Participants were thus acquainted with relevant psychological aspects and skills to carry out effective investigations.

This activity was organised within the framework of the Council of Europe Project “Human Rights Compliant Policing in Georgia” which is designed to address the issues related to effective policing in line with human rights standards, the rights of detained persons and their treatment by police, the treatment of juvenile victims and offenders as well as effective investigation into alleged ill-treatment by police and effective remedies against police misconduct.

We work together to promote Human rights, Democracy and Rule of Law.
