Seyed Ahmadreza Salamti, the ODVV Rehabilitation Deputy in the beginning of the workshop while pointing out some of ODVV’s successful experiences in preventive interventions in prevention of violence said: “the adoption of a passive position due to activity problems and legal problems for the prevention of violence does not work with the voluntary and brave message of nongovernmental organizations, and all existing capacities must be utilised for preventive action in any capacity.
