Arise Socio-Cultural Foundation and Safer World Organization trained 60 couples on domestic gender-based violence in Yambio, Gbudue State.
Udie Daniel director of Arise Socio-Cultural Foundation says the aim was to bring the couples together to educate them on the practice, Anisa Radio reports.
He adds that another reason was to give them chance to share their experiences they encounter in their families.
Daniel mentions that the training tackles issues to do with gender equality, early marriage and high dowry related to culture.
Hesays after the training participants have massive responsibilities to play in their communities.
The director urges family members to learn how to forgive and understand.
He stresses that married partners should admit their mistakes in their families.
Pastor Andria Bernard Saverio, a participant appreciates the two organizations for the great initiative taken to build their capacities.
He acknowledges that he gained a lot during the training.
Suzan Batista Kusumba, a female participant, welcomed the initiatives citing that she will help the families with the knowledge she acquired.
She calls on the public to have understanding in their marriage life while urging South Sudanese to send their children to school.
The speakers made the remarks to Anisa Radio after the three-day training that brought in 30 couples on Wednesday in Yambio.
