This October, let's educate ourselves and others about the key #symptoms of #breastcancer, because #earlydetectionsaveslives #breastcancerawarenessmonth

#Breastcancer affects roughly 2.4 million women worldwide each year, and an estimated 90,000 women in Pakistan are diagnosed every year. Regular self-examinations and yearly mammograms are key to detecting breast cancer early.​ #Breastcancerawarenssmonth #earlydectectioneaveslives

Every October marks #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth . The aim of the month is to raise awareness, especially among women, about breast cancer, its risks, detection and prevention. Let's support the survivors and the warriors fighting breast cancer, spread awareness, and end the stigma and taboo around it.​ #breastcancer #earlydetection

In partnership with @UNICEF_Pakistan, Group Development Pakistan is conducting a training for police officers in Multan on the Juvenile Justice System Act (JJSA) 2018 under the #ReimagineJusticeforChildren programme. Day 1 provided a thorough grounding in #childrights, legal frameworks, and police obligations when handling children in conflict with the law. Sessions covered critical areas including #adolescent brain development and trauma, the constitutional and statutory mandates of the JJSA 2018 and #UNCRC General Comment 24, proper age determination procedures at first contact, and lawful protocols regarding arrest, custody, notification, and bail as the default. Through interactive baseline assessments, case file audits, and practical role-plays, participants strengthened their understanding of child-centered policing, ensuring that the rights, dignity, and best interests of children remain the center point of law enforcement. #RJ4C #JJSA2018 #GroupDevelopmentPakistan @EUPakistan @FCDOGovUK @NCRC_Pakistan @nchrofficial @UNDP_Pakistan @UNODCPakistan @UNHumanRights @CanHCPakistan @NLinPakistan @FranceinPak @amplifyfund @SavetheChildren @UnescoPakistan @usembislamabad @unwomen_pak @UN_EndViolence @NEDemocracy @StateDept @CRCAsia @FranceinPak @5RightsFound @UN_EndViolence

Group Development Pakistan, with the support of @FranceinPak, organized a two-day training workshop on #JuvenileJusticeSystemAct2018 for police officers at the National Highways and Motorway Police Training College. The training brought together police officers to strengthen their understanding of children’s rights and child protection. Sessions covered the international and national legal frameworks, the Juvenile Justice System Act (JJSA) 2018, provincial laws, age determination, and the practical application of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Through interactive activities, case scenarios, quizzes, discussions and practical exercises, participants explored how legal provisions can be translated into more effective and child-sensitive policing practices. The workshop concluded with emphasis on the importance of continued capacity building for a #justicesystem that protects the rights, dignity and best interests of every child. #ChildRights #ChildProtection #JJSA2018 #PoliceTraining #GDP #frenchembassy @EUPakistan @FCDOGovUK @NCRC_Pakistan @nchrofficial @unwomen_pak @UNDP_Pakistan @UNODCPakistan @UNHumanRights @CanHCPakistan @NLinPakistan @amplifyfund @SavetheChildren @UnescoPakistan @UN_EndViolence @StateDept @CRCAsia @5RightsFound @NHMPofficial
