Rule of Law and Empowerment Initiative also known as Partners West Africa Nigeria (PWAN) is a nongovernmental organization dedicated to enhancing citizen's participation and improving security governance in Nigeria and West Africa broadly.
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) goes beyond physical harm—it affects lives, families, and communities in profound and lasting ways. In this episode, we explore the realities of GBV, the myths that continue to fuel it, and the collective responsibility we all share in preventing violence and supporting survivors.
Join us as we examine the root causes of gender-based violence, discuss pathways to justice and accountability, and highlight the importance of creating safe spaces where survivors are heard, believed, and supported.
Whether you're a policymaker, civil society actor, community leader, student, or simply someone committed to building a safer society, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical actions we can all take to end GBV.
Together, we can break the silence, challenge harmful norms, and build communities where everyone can live free from violence.
