The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has announced its plans for the 2025 International 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
The activities which commence on Monday, showed a sweeping nationwide plan and a renewed call for stronger protections for women and girls, as the Commission also marks its 30th anniversary.
Addressing journalists at a press briefing in Abuja, the Executive Secretary of NHRC, Dr. Tony Ojukwu, said the anniversary provided an important moment to reflect on three decades of work advancing justice, dignity, and equality in Nigeria – while acknowledging that gender-based violence (GBV) remains one of the gravest human rights violations confronting the country.
