Women’s Consortium of Nigeria recently organised a community outreach to sensitise Iwaya women against sexual and gender-based violence.
To raise awareness on the endemic nature of violence against women and girls: rape, teenage pregnancy, incest, early marriage and forced marriage.
To sensitise about the facts and myths of human trafficking and the control tactics.
From the 1800s to the early 1900's, women activists fought hard for equality. Today, some of the issues then remain key priorities today, even over a century later.
