16 Days Of Activism On GBV : NHRC Reaffirms Commitments To Protecting Rights Of Nigerians
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In commemoration of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign, the Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Dr Tony Ojukwu SAN, has reaffirmed commitment of the commission to protecting the rights of every individual in Nigeria and beyond.

The Executive Secretary in a press briefing on Friday in Abuja, said the programme calls for the attention, collaboration and investment of key stakeholders like the media, faith-based organisations, human rights actors, students unions, women associations and security agencies to restrategise in stemming the tide against violence on women.

The event was organised in partnership with the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC), funded by the European Union and implemented by International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA).

According to Ojukwu, the International Human Rights Day serves as an opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made as a nation in advancing the fundamental rights as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and other international human rights instruments to which Nigeria is a party.

“It also challenges us to confront the gaps and obstacles that continue to hinder the full realization of these rights.

“For this year’s commemoration and as usual, the National Human Rights Commission and its partners have lined up series of impactful programs and initiatives designed to amplify the voices of the marginalized, promote accountability, and foster a deeper understanding of human rights among all stakeholders.

“These activities are designed to raise awareness, foster dialogue, and inspire action toward addressing inequalities and advancing human rights across Nigeria,’ he said.

According to him, the nationwide events include: road show across the 36 State offices of NHRC (Nov 25); visits to the Office of the Speaker of the House of Assembly across the States, for advocacy and lobby for legislation on violence against women and girls (Nov 26); visits to the Office of the Chief Judges of the States and the Judges of the FHC (Nov 27) and meeting with women/youths’ groups in the State, to further deliberate and identify violations (Nov 28).
