comments:

The project will continue the process of institutionalising capacity building initiatives. However, the Bridge project is unable to avoid the rotation of staff or to enforce a commitment to this effect by the partner governments; this is beyond the scope of the project. The project will however seek to work with the governments to train actors that can replicate the trainings or to create a pool of trainers. In Peru and Malaysia for example, the project will continue to support the trainings of judges and prosecutors, and will work to include the incorporation of forced labour into the relevant national curriculum and also the school curriculum. The project will also continue training and using civil society networks as a means to reach the most vulnerable and to ensure sustainability (which is already the case especially in Mauritania, Niger and Nepal and has also started in Peru).

FUNDAMENTALS

title:

5. Strengthen the gender element of the project (Level of priority: medium / Resource implications: medium /Timeframe: medium). This goes beyond looking at participation (number of women, for example), and beyond looking only at women towards a more substantive gender-sensitive approach which helps sensitise implementers and counterparts to cultural biases that may hamper the identification of forced labor (for example) including case studies used for analysis and discussion during training that deal with gender related cultural biases. - Bridge Peru: Incorporate the Union of domestic workers ONAMIAP into the regular discussion of the Comisión Multisectorial de Trabajo Forzado processes so that the female perspective, and in particular that of the domestic worker, is included into the national policy discussions; including case studies in training exercises that highlight cultural biases - Government of Peru: support further training on forced labor with a focus on training female judges of peace
