"This is one of those occasions to address an issue that affects millions of lives worldwide: sexual and gender-based violence"
"This is an issue that does not just only affect women and children but also men. This issue, is it confined to a single community or region?. It is a human issue—a violation of dignity, equality, and fundamental rights" .
He furthered said, Every act of violence leaves scars, not just on individuals but on families, communities, and entire societies. It silences voices, destroys dreams, and perpetuates cycles of fear and oppression.
"Today we reiterate our as stand as a legal body to say: Enough is enough. We must create a world where no one is in danger or denied their potentials because of their gender or sexuality", he added
This fight starts with serious awareness and intellectual consciousness. We must continue to challenge the wicked act of abuses of any kind, speak up against it, and empower survivors to seek justice in the appropriate quarters. Most importantly, we must ensure safe spaces for everyone to thrive.
In conclusion, he enjoined everyone and their communities to be allies, advocates, and agents of change as well as great crusaders on this course.
"Lets continue to say no to sexual and gender-based violence, he affirmed.
