The Dozo, known for their cultural rituals conducted at night, welcomed CADHA trainers to raise awareness about fundamental human rights before the ceremonies on the night of 22 December. Mr. Kouassi Kouadio Bertin, a representative of CADHA, provided examples of human rights violations to the traditional hunters.
The second day of training was conducted in two phases. Mr. Degna Jean Pierre, Village Chief from Diouya Dokin, started the opening ceremony by welcoming the attendees and commending CADHA’s initiative for valuing African culture through the Dozoya tradition.
Mr. Dosso Sory, President of the Fédération Nationale des Confréries Dozos de Côte d’Ivoire (FENACODOCI), complimented the partnership agreement between FENACODOCI and CADHA. The ceremony concluded with remarks from the Regional Director of National Cohesion, Solidarity, and the Fight Against Poverty.
During the first module of the training, Mr. Kouassi Kouadio Bertin discussed the limits of Dozoya practices, emphasizing respect for the Republic’s institutions and the individuals representing them. An interactive session followed, where participants shared experiences and engaged in practical case studies.
The discussions covered citizenship issues, including compliance with laws and regulations, respect for administrative and political authorities, collaboration with defence and security forces, and the potential establishment of frameworks for future cooperation.
