Gender-Based Violence/ Equality: WRAHP Sensitise Edo People

BENIN CITY- As part of efforts to enhance protection from gender-based violence, a Non-Governmental Organisation, Women’s Right and Health Project (WRAHP) on Thursday raised the awareness of 30 youths on the provisions of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law(VAPP) 2015. Speaking at a 3-day Workshop for young people on VAPP law in Benin, Bose Ironsi, Executive Director of WRAHP, said the beneficiaries, who are community representatives, were selected from Egor and Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Areas in Edo State. Ironsi said that the 12-month project, which was sponsored by Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA), would go a long way to empower recipients to act as agents of social change through information sharing and advocacy in their respective communities.
