Liberia National Commission on Arms (LiNCA)
Commissioner Dogbey and the Gender Director Participates In Key Gender Workshop In Paris"
The Liberia National Commission on Arms (LiNCA), is participating in a two day "Train the Trainers" Gender Workshop from November 20th, to the 21st in Paris, France. Representing the Arms Commission at the workshop, Commissioner Dogbey accompanied by the Director of Gender, Madam Blessing Bornor Jallah, is in Paris to participate and provide expert advisory service on gender-based violence.
The workshop organized by Expertise France, is intended to address compliance with the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) provisions related to gender-based violence.
Liberia's commitment to international and regional agreements like the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) and the UN Programme on Action (PoA) on small arms and light weapons, emphasize the need to consider gender dimension in arms control which is reflective in the structure of the Arms Commission with Atty Vivian Darlue Dogbey serving as one of its Commissioners.
Commissioner Dogbey's public statements have connected her personal experience of the Liberian civil war's devastating impact to her professional dedication to arms control, providing a powerful gender-aware perspective on issues.
Gender as one of LiNCA's priorities, the Commission has ensured several training programs for state security institutions mainstreaming gender giving women the opportunity to participate in arms control across our national security sector.
