Presentation of Research Report by @oaaigbe: Understanding the Impact of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) on National Development. This important research sheds light on how VAWG not only violates human rights but also undermines progress in governance, economy, and social development. Together, we must turn data into action for a safer and more inclusive society. #EndVAWG #WomensRights #ACTtoEndViolence #ACTtoEndViolenceAgainstWomenandGirls @EU_Commission @UN_Women @UNSierraLeone @ActionAidNG @FIDANigeria @womenfundng

Congratulations, my sister Maryam Bukar Hassan (@Alhan_islam) on your designation as a @UN Global Advocate for Peace! Your voice carries truth and endless inspiration. As you once said: “Peace has always known a woman's name spoken in the way she chooses courage over collapse, again and again.” Proud to see a Nigerian woman lighting the path of peace.
