On 24th September 2020, PSA conducted SGBV community dialogue session in Bariga Bosaso IDPs camp that was attended by 50 participants.
The community dialogue session was designed for the participants to exchange information face-to-face, share personal stories and experiences, honestly express perspectives, clarify viewpoints, and develop solutions to community concerns on SGBV.
Dialogue sessions have been selected as the primary method to engage communities in order to encourage open and free discussion and diverse opinions in the process of communal problem solving around issues of GBV.
In general it is a participatory and interactive discussion that focuses people’s attention on a particular issue or challenge and encourages them to share their views about it, as well as their ideas on what should be done about it. During the process, individuals and the group can also identify actions that can be taken to address the issue, as well as priorities that should be addressed with other stakeholders and influential leaders at the community level.
