Christian Initiative for Restoration and Development Agency (CIRDA-SS) participated in 16 Days of Activism Against Sexual Gender Based violence (SGBV) not by organizing an event but by reaching out to wider communities through Weer Bei FM. Our team walk to local Radio to have Radio talk show, sharing with the public that Sexual abuses and Gender based violence are not only harmful but human Rights violations against humanity. CIRDA-SS has so far records number of cases of Gender based violence causes against women and minor girls or underage which is not acceptable. Our GBV team has widely shared with the public about SGBV, and it’s impacts to lives. SGBV must stop in our society, we must all join hand to fight against Sexual gender-based violence, it is a disease that requires a collective effort, thankful to churches here in NBeG State for joining hands with CIRDA to disseminate and create more awareness against SGBV. Many cases are being reported by churches and community facilitators and healers. We appeal to our communities and churches to report cases related to SGBV to relevant institutions for assistance and guidance. CIRDA also give little and once time support to sexually assault or abused victims, but the very important thing CIRDA does is the psychological and counseling support we offer to victims, we help them restore dignity, respect and love. And finally, we share with them some stories from the Bible that give them hope and courage to continue with life as being sexually abused is not the end of life because sometime, victims commit suicide, but they are helped from such a situation and restore their hope to see life differently.
