On the second day, the participants discussed the definition of the term violence, its causes, factors and forms, in addition to the issue of violence in family and societal contexts.
The participants in the workshop on its third day dealt with the issue of torture. The session included the axes of the definition of torture and its types, the evolution of its forms throughout history, as well as the purposes, goals and objectives of the practice of torture, and its results and effects on the individual and society.
