Its president, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, while speaking at a high-level dialogue on gender-based violence in Abuja yesterday, condemned the menace, describing it as a pervasive issue with far-reaching consequences.

Okoh stressed the critical role of religious leaders in speaking out against gender-based violence and working towards creating a more just and equitable society.

“As religious leaders, we must give moral leadership in speaking out against all forms of violence and injustice, including gender-based violence, and work towards creating a more just and equitable society for all to live and flourish in without fear of discrimination or intimidation,” he said.

The CAN president also commended the organisers of the dialogue for bringing together stakeholders from across sectors to discuss strategies for preventing and responding to gender-based violence.

He urged participants to engage in constructive dialogue, share best practices, and commit to taking concrete actions to address the issue in their communities.

“In the fight against GBV in our society and our world, we must be sincere and give it all the time, energy, and resources that are required.

“I urge all participants to engage in constructive dialogue, share best practices, and commit to taking concrete actions to address gender-based violence in our communities.

“Let us stand in solidarity with survivors, advocate for their rights, and work towards ending the cycle of violence for future generations,” he said.
