Dear friends, Ms Dorothy Lemmey and Ms Linda Light, I received this message today on the mailing list of end-violence and a proposal came into my mind, whether we can have such trainings in Iran too or not (please consider that Iran and Afghanistan are neighbours). There are now a lot of improvements on the subject of violence against women. I mean that the society knows a little about it, there have been some films which have been produced by the Iranian directors, and many workshops on prevention of violence against women or papers in the journals or periodicals, and things like that. But still it seems we need to move forward. We can transfer such knowledge to Afghanistan. Yesterday, I was in a seminar whose participants were future nurses of hospitals (students of the related course in the university). It came to my mind that we can shape such a training course for the nurses here in Iran, and since the language is the same we can move and have it in Afghanistan too. In Iran, it can be focused on domestic violence and in Afghanistan, it can be focused on post conflict violence. Even, we can start to see whether there are nurses who would like to go to Afghanistan and work there. I think that our organization is in a position to assist, if Iranian people also can benefit from such trainings.
