As Caritas Nigeria joins the world in advocating against Gender Based Voilence, staff working in the agencies of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) headquartered at the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria lent their voices to the global campaign against gender-based violence (GBV).
At a Mass offered for victims and survivors of Gender Based violence (GBV), the National Director of Missio Nigeria, Rev. Fr. Solomon Zaku, cited the connection between Catholic Social Teaching (which advocates for the safeguarding of the inherent dignity of the human person) and the global campaign against GBV, urged the workers to treat all people with equal respect and fairness.
Caritas Nigeria Gender Services Focal Person, Charles Aneni, equally sensitized the congregation about the several types of violence and preventive actions that could be taken to end GBV.
