It is worthy saying that the lecturers in these courses are a selection of masters in law, legal medicine, human rights activists and specialists in psychological and legal medicine.

These courses aim at providing the trainees with legal and legislative information concerning the right to have a safe body, in addition to the international charters that assert this right, and to what extent this right is practiced and applied under the Egyptian legal and judicial system. Moreover, these courses aim at providing the trainees some practical experiences about the way of fact-finding and monitoring concerning the violation of this right.
