A/HRC/25/44 damaged. Furthermore, at least 130 teachers fearing for their safety left their place of employment and did not return at the start of the academic year in September 2013. Others were transferred to Nzérékoré, depriving thousands of children of their right to education. The Government has had to carry out awareness-raising drives in all the localities of the Beyla prefecture in order to meet groups of teachers and reassure them about their security conditions. The OHCHR office in Guinea has also taken part in these meetings with other United Nations agencies, such as the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). IV. Activities of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Guinea A. Transitional justice and national reconciliation 42. As a result of the political and electoral tensions, the Government decided to suspend the organization of national consultations on transitional justice. For its part, OHCHR Guinea has continued its technical cooperation with the relevant national actors. 43. This cooperation has resulted in the organization of information sessions for the provisional National Reconciliation Commission, further to the arguments made since 2011 to the Government about effectively making available the logistical and human resources necessary for the organization of the national consultations on the establishment of transitional justice mechanisms. The OHCHR Guinea office has also participated actively in the process to develop and validate the project to hold consultations on national reconciliation, whose implementation has been postponed until 2014 on account of the electoral context. 44. As part of their strategy for contributing to calming the social climate, the OHCHR and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in collaboration with three local nongovernmental organizations,5 have implemented a support project for the victims of torture and violence against women. This project has enabled 50 women who were victims of violence (including sexual violence) during the events of 28 September 2009 to receive medical, psychosocial and food support and to earn a living. Furthermore, the project has made it possible to develop a database aimed at facilitating follow-up of cases. B. Reform of the security sector 45. The OHCHR office in Guinea has continued to support the legislative and institutional measures currently being taken in the security sector, which have mainly involved seminars aimed at promoting awareness among the population and facilitating ownership and acceptance by the security sector of a civilian and democratic mechanism to monitor its conduct. 46. Within the framework of the legislative elections, the OHCHR Guinea office has contributed to providing training on human rights for 152 trainers, police officers and gendarmes, members of the Special Force for Election Security, and to the sessions organized subsequently, from 14 to 22 September 2013, for at least 15,000 officials in Conakry and in the eight administrative regions of the country. The involvement of OHCHR focused on human rights issues connected to the elections and operations to 5 GE.14-10910 Association guinéenne des assistantes sociales, Association des parents et amis des victimes du massacre du 28 septembre 2009, Centre Mère-Enfant. 11
