"I really appreciate the course's focus on practical application and real-world scenarios. The interactive elements, such as case studies and group discussions, were particularly helpful in illustrating key concepts and encouraging engagement. I also liked the way the course emphasized the importance of child protection in UN military operations and provided concrete strategies for implementation. The content was well-organized, and the modules flowed logically, making it easy to follow and absorb the material.""

"The course could be improved by including more practical, field-based examples that show how gender issues affect child protection. Boys and girls often face different risks, such as recruitment, sexual violence, or stigmatization, and more case studies on these realities would make the training more applicable. Guidance on engaging with women’s groups, survivors, and community leaders would also be valuable. Scenario-based exercises that demonstrate how to apply gender-sensitive approaches during patrols and operations would strengthen my ability to respond effectively in the field.”"
