As part of the specialized training program “Improving Criminal Prosecution in Gender-Based Violence Cases in Latin America and the Caribbean,” JSCA held the second in-person session of the course in Trinidad and Tobago, creating a key space to strengthen the capacities of justice sector professionals in the country.

Delivered in a hybrid format, the program combines virtual and in-person components to provide comprehensive training for prosecutors, police officers, judges, prison officials, as well as representatives from civil society and academia. Its goal is to enhance the investigation, prosecution, and victim support in gender-based violence cases, incorporating both a human rights perspective and a gender-sensitive approach.

During this session, participants advanced in the practical application of content covered in the program’s intermediate modules, focusing on criteria for the use of alternative resolutions, expedited procedures, and the development of case theory in gender-based violence investigations.

Through hands-on exercises and case analysis, participants engaged with complex scenarios designed to strengthen decision-making in criminal proceedings, promoting more effective, sensitive, and stereotype-free responses.

The training promotes:

The integration of a gender perspective throughout the criminal process

The strengthening of case theory in complex investigations

Informed decision-making in alternative resolutions

The improvement of institutional practices through a rights-based approach

In-person sessions, such as this second training in Trinidad and Tobago, are essential to consolidating learning through participatory activities, case analysis, and simulation exercises that effectively bridge theory and practice.
