‎She noted that the day also signals the start of the 16-day Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, which concludes on 10 December—Human Rights Day.

‎Nonye Soludo highlighted that empowering women and girls through education, accessible quality healthcare, job opportunities, and strengthening social institutions are vital steps to tackling gender-based violence. She further gave an insight on how to eliminate these gender based violence;

‎“Eliminating gender-based discrimination is everyone’s responsibility—at home, in schools, workplaces, places of worship, and wherever human relationships exist. Every woman deserves protection and support to flourish.

‎“Central to this campaign is breaking the silence of those suffering abuse.We can end gender-based violence by addressing the right concerns and taking effective measures. Empowering women and girls through education, healthcare access, job creation, and social institution strengthening is far more potent than we realise."

‎“Thankfully, Anambra State recognises these challenges and has significantly shifted the narrative.”
