Insaf Center for Rights and Development concluded last Thursday, 12 February 2026, a specialized training course on “Psychological and Legal Support,” targeting officers of the Aden Security Administration. The five-day training was held in the interim capital, Aden, from 8–12 February 2026.
The course was conducted as part of the project “E-Justice for Women in Yemen,” implemented by the Center with funding from the French Embassy in Yemen. It aimed to strengthen the capacity of security authorities in handling women’s cases through an approach that takes into account both psychological and legal considerations.
A number of officers from the Aden Security Administration participated in the training, receiving intensive sessions on mechanisms for providing psychological first aid to survivors, the required legal procedures in cases of violence against women, and an introduction to the e-justice system and its role in facilitating women’s access to justice services.
Salim Al-Aghbari, Programs and Projects Manager, affirmed the Center’s continued commitment to implementing programs aimed at building the capacities of official and community institutions in ways that contribute to protecting women’s rights and achieving justice. He also praised the ongoing support of the French Embassy for the Center’s developmental and human rights projects in Yemen.
At the conclusion of the course, participants commended the training content and the performance of the trainers, emphasizing the importance of these outcomes in improving their field performance and enhancing a safer environment for women in the governorate.
Participants also expressed their appreciation for the initiative, highlighting its relevance to their fieldwork. They reaffirmed their commitment to applying the knowledge gained in their daily practices within police stations and security institutions across the governorate, stressing that equipping the security system with “psychological support” skills is no less important than legal enforcement in ensuring a safe and equitable environment for Yemeni women.
