The participants who were trained by Barrister Obiageli Oraka-Oifoghe on their roles on the Provisions of the #riversstatevapplaw were delighted to have been part of the training and appreciated #cehrd for organizing such a training in a time as this.

The fight against #GBV is not a fight for a person but all. There is therefore need for collaboration to providing justice for victims and survivors of Gender Based Violence (#GBV).

#CEHRD is glad to know that her project on “Enhancing Prevention and Response to Gender Based Violence in Rivers State” is affecting lives positively.

#CEHRD appreciates European Commission for the support.
