WSRN Seeks End To Violence Against Women News
The assistant program officer, Alhassan Felicia, made the call yesterday at the training of journalists on ‘Effective Media Sensitive Reporting and Strengthening Understanding of the Dynamics of SGBV’ in Kaduna.
The training which was funded by Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation focused on addressing violence against female politicians, garnering support for female political candidates beyond party affiliation, soliciting media support for female candidates and building momentum for women’s active participation in 2023 elections.
The facilitator, Timothy Lawrence from WSRN, called for special protection for female candidates, politicians and voters ahead of the elections.He maintained that poor political participation of women in politics was one of the most common but often unrecognised forms of violence and discrimination against women, saying it hinders the participation of women in public life and promotes an unhealthy democratic Nigeria without women.
