In August 2026, the Community Development for Progress Organization organized a training workshop on combating gender-based violence, supported by the Darfur Civil Society Platform in East Darfur State. The workshop addressed concepts of gender-based violence, identifying its various forms, referral pathways, safe support, and mechanisms for assisting and supporting survivors. It also covered concepts of protection and confidentiality, raised awareness regarding community-based protection and advocacy, reinforced the "Do No Harm" principle, and advocated for activating the community's role in providing support.
