CAPACITY-BUILDING This section highlights the work and milestones of the Forum through the Secretariat. TRAINING OF HRDS ON SECURITY AND PROTECTION The Forum continued to collaborate with international partners such as Frontline Human Rights Defenders to strengthen the capacity of its membership and the broader civil society in responding to threats to their security and enhance their protection. One training workshop was conducted in Johannesburg, South Africa for 14 HRDs drawn from various organisations in Zimbabwe who were at risk of being targeted. The HRDs were equipped with the relevant tools and skills on how to respond and or deal with security issues.
