The peace workshop, which brought together more than 60 rural women from Salayea, Foya, Voinjama, Zorzor, Kolahun, and Vahun, is hoping that the forum would provide knowledge and education on how people in rural communities can avert violent crimes against teens, who have essentially become breadwinners for their parents. Each of the selected districts was represented by ten women at the seminar.
