This week, In Kaduna, CLEEN Foundation convened a two-day technical session
CLEEN Foundation, in collaboration with the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) and with support from UN Women, invites you to the official launch of the Women, Peace and Security Website, Nigeria’s national platform for coordination, knowledge sharing,
“You are too sensitive.”
“Without me, you’re nothing.”
