The Women Community in Africa (WCA), a nongovernmental organization, has begun a 16-day campaign to address gender-based violence against women in Abuja. The initiative started yesterday, aiming to raise awareness and combat GBV. This effort aligns with global activism periods focused on ending violence against women.
In Abuja, the Women Community in Africa (WCA), a nongovernmental organization dedicated to women's issues, commenced its 16-day campaign against gender-based violence (GBV) on November 25, 2025. The campaign targets violence specifically affecting women, seeking to highlight and mitigate its impacts through awareness activities.
The initiative was launched yesterday, as reported by Daily Trust, marking the start of a period that runs until December 10, 2025. This timing coincides with the international 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, an annual global effort led by the United Nations to mobilize communities worldwide.
WCA's activities are part of broader efforts in Nigeria to tackle GBV, which remains a significant challenge in the country. The organization aims to engage communities, policymakers, and stakeholders to foster safer environments for women. No specific details on planned events or partnerships were provided in the initial announcement, but the campaign underscores the ongoing need for collective action against such violence.
