Once more, the trio of Mrs. Agnes Ofuasia, Mrs. Anwuli Ukwamedua and Sr. Lauretta Obonyilo took the campaign and sensitisation against Gender-Based Violence to Marymount College, Boji Boji Owa on the 21st day of November, 2025. As we noted in another post, the trio have been part of a formation of foot soldiers from different faiths and denomination, who have been undergoing training under a partnership between the Catholic Women Organization of Issele-Uku Diocese and the center for women studies and intervention-CWSI. This partnership is fostered by the Justice, Development and Peace Commission (Jdpc Issele-Uku).

Their goal was to begin early to enlighten the young minds with the message of the anti-GBV. Special thanks to them. Together, we can root out all forms of GBV in our society. Join us!
