Abiodun Essiet Initiative for Girls, led by the Executive Director: Mrs. Abiodun Essiet, paid an advocacy visit to the Association of Wives of FCT Traditional Rulers at their office today.
This was necessitated because, we at AEIG recognize the important role they play, as a major stakeholder in the fight against Sexual and Gender-based Violence, amongst the Original Inhabitants of FCT.
Issues relating to Sexual and Gender-based Violence is one of the core components of the project: " Promoting the Rights of the Original Inhabitants of FCT"; which is being funded by the MacArthur Foundation through the Resource Center for Human Rights and Civic Education (CHRICED).
We had a fruitful discussion and they agreed to partner with us on this timely and significant intervention, by MacArthur Foundation and CHRICED, for the Original Inhabitants of FCT, who have for years, been neglected by the FCT Administration and the Federal Government.
