In Shymkent, a training was held organized by the PA "Legal Center for Women's Initiatives 'Sana Sezim'" with the support of the Canadian Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI). The event aimed to strengthen the professional competencies of specialists working with women facing discrimination, violence, and barriers to accessing justice.
