She said, “This project is not just a Senate initiative; it is a national call to action.

“We must stand together to create a society where everyone feels safe, heard, and valued,” Kingibe said.

The Senate and SCOWAS invite citizens, grassroots organizations, and corporate partners to join hands in this transformative effort.

Together, they aim to build a future where Gender-Based Violence is eradicated, and the principles of equality and respect prevail.
