HUCOMDEF JOINS THE GLOBAL FIGHT FOR JUSTICE

We are proud to announce that Humanity and Community Development Foundation (HUCOMDEF) has been officially accepted as a member of the Coalition for a Convention on Crimes Against Humanity (C-CAH).

C-CAH is a global civil society network bringing together non-governmental organizations, legal experts and academics working to advance a strong, victim- and survivor-centered, non-discriminatory international convention on the prevention and punishment of crimes against humanity.

The Coalition advocates for the progressive development of international law, stronger accountability for perpetrators, meaningful survivor participation, gender justice, and effective state obligations to prevent and punish crimes against humanity.

The C-CAH Steering Committee includes leading international organizations such as the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ), Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch (HRW), and the Global Justice Center, among other civil society partners working toward this historic international treaty.

As a new member, HUCOMDEF is honored to contribute to this important global movement, working collaboratively with civil society organizations and supporting efforts to strengthen international justice and protection for victims and survivors.

This membership represents another important step in HUCOMDEF’s commitment to human rights, accountability, peace, justice and human dignity from our communities in Nigeria to the global stage.

Communities in Zamfara State, Nigeria face rising violent extremism driven by poverty, insecurity, and limited awareness. Youth are vulnerable to recruitment due to misinformation and lack of opportunities. Weak community structures and poor collaboration with security agencies reduce early detection and response.

Our BCRAVE project aimed to provide solution to the problems by empowering local actors with knowledge and skills to prevent radicalization. This short video, highlighted the project's workshop activity where youth, community actors, civil society organizations, security agencies and government officials were equipped with skills to counter extremist narratives, promote media literacy, and identify early extremist warning signs.

Our organization is open for partnership to sustain this initiative.
