From 26 November to 16 December 2025, ASFF, through the LIBRE project ‘Fight against impunity for perpetrators of gender-based violence in order to strengthen gender equality in Guinea’, funded by the European Union and implemented by a consortium made up of Avocats Sans Frontières France (ASF France), the Club des Jeunes Filles Leaders de Guinée (CJFLG) and the Centre Guinéen de Promotion et de Protection des Droits de l'Homme (CPDH), took part in the Human Rights Fortnight.
Thanks to financial support from the European Union, a number of activities were carried out:
 
- In collaboration with the Ministry of Justice, through its Gender and Equity Department, and the Langni FAN project of Terre des Hommes, ASF France organised the launch of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence;
- Three awareness-raising sessions were held for 230 female prisoners and prison staff in the Conakry, Kankan and Mamou prisons;
- A training course was run jointly with Terre des Hommes for 30 prison officers on human rights and gender-based violence (GBV).
 
Together, let's continue our commitment to preventing and eliminating violence"
