The event was held at the Pikulthong Meeting Room of the Imperial Hotel in Narathiwat Province (2nd session), under the project “Empowering Women and Young Women to Advance Gender Equality in the Southern Region.” This project is supported by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA THAILAND). Khun Saitong Doloh, PPAT Project Manager, led the team conducting the training, which saw a total of 40 participants.
