The Training Program for Protection Officers in Addressing Domestic Violence is a collaboration between National Gender and Child Centre, Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (NG&CC) and National Commission of Women (NCW), Delhi. The training was designed to address the specific needs of POs to respond to survivors of Domestic Violence, especially during the pandemic. 

The objectives of the training programme with the participants helps in defining and arriving at what the outcomes should be. Thus, there is an alignment and acceptance of the different aspects the training will cover to achieve these objectives. In addition, it is also critical for the trainer/ facilitator to keep the end outcomes in mind while defining the objectives of the training programme. This helps in ensuring how the sessions should be structured and designed to be in alignment with the overall objectives and outcomes of the programme.

As part of this collaboration, a set of four trainings were organized for the states of Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana. The virtual training programmes were organized on :
