16 Days of Activism: Teenage Engagement in Fighting Gender-Based Violence

Share:

As part of the ongoing activities for the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence (GBV), our staff working on the Child Protection (Refugee Response) Project funded by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, in partnership with the Borno Women Development Initiative Maiduguri and IOM Nigeria held a public awareness and sensitization rally against all forms of Gender Based Violence in Mubi and Michika local government areas of Adamawa State.

Focusing on the theme for this year’s campaign, the team engaged teenage boys and girls in a writing competition on the consequences of abuse and other kinds of violence on both the perpetrators and survivors.

Today, our Executive Secretary/CEO, Rev. Fr. @uche

Today, our Executive Secretary/CEO, Rev. Fr. @uchechukwu_fr_obodoechina, PhD, was joined by staff and his friends and wellwishers at a Thanksgiving Mass marking his 8th year in office as the Director of the Church and Society Department of Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria and CEO of #Caritas Nigeria.

In his homily, Most Rev. Isaac Dugu, Catholic Bishop of Katsina-Ala Diocese, reflected on key moments of Fr. Obodoechina’s service and urged the lay faithful to cultivate a spirit of prayer, steadfastness, and gratitude to God, even in difficult times.

Drawing a parallel between Fr. Obodoechina’s leadership and Caritas Nigeria’s mission of helping the poor and vulnerable, and the Universal Church’s commemoration of the Guardian Angels today, Most Rev. @godfreyionah, the officiating minister and Catholic Bishop of Nsukka Diocese, encouraged the congregation to embody the compassion of angels through increased acts of charity towards one another.

The Mass was followed by a warm reception attended by the Priests, Religious, and staff members of @catholicsecretariatofnigeria, as well as other guests. The country representatives of our in-country partners, @catholicreliefservices, @cafod, and @misereor, also joined the celebration.

Rev. Fr. Obodoechina expressed profound gratitude to God and the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria for the opportunity to serve humanity, stressing the numerous blessings and graces he experienced throughout his tenure, which began on October 2, 2016. He also took the opportunity to unveil his latest book, Becoming the Change You Desire.

In closing, our Deputy Executive Secretary, Rev. Fr. Peter Audu, thanked the clergy, staff, dignitaries, friends, and well-wishers, whose participation made the Thanksgiving celebration memorable.
