Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has declared war on gender-based violence, vowing to fight the scourge that has ravaged countless lives across Nigeria.
Its president, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, while speaking at a high-level dialogue on gender-based violence in Abuja yesterday, condemned the menace, describing it as a pervasive issue with far-reaching consequences.
Okoh stressed the critical role of religious leaders in speaking out against gender-based violence and working towards creating a more just and equitable society.
“As religious leaders, we must give moral leadership in speaking out against all forms of violence and injustice, including gender-based violence, and work towards creating a more just and equitable society for all to live and flourish in without fear of discrimination or intimidation,” he said.
