As we conclude today’s conversation, I’ll like to highlight that the fight against GBV isn’t a CSO fight alone, it’s a HUMANITY FIGHT and this is our call to do something about GBV.

These roles are actually things we can take up as individuals in our communities. Addressing GBV should not be left alone to CSOs but should be our collective responsibility as humans. When we #speakup we are actually playing the role CSOs play & it’s not too little

Currently, in a lot of countries,there are existing frameworks addressing GBV which was not the case some 5decades to a century ago. This achievement can be attributed, though not entirely but to a large extent, to the role CSOs play

In more recent times, the recognition of GBV as a pandemic that needs to be addressed rigorously, has birthed more coalitions in the international community in terms of funding, resource pooling and strategy building.

In the Nigerian Civic Space, we see CSOs across local, national & international levels unifying to combat GBV & in recent times, there have been more focus on coalition building harnessing the power of social movement to address GBV

What then are civil society organizations?
A civil society organization (CSO) is any non-profit, voluntary citizens' group which is organized on a local, national or international level, to drive development.

At this point, it’s important for us to note that the progress we have made so far in addressing and combating GBV could not have happened at this pace if not for the continuous efforts of civil society organizations.

When the conversation about addressing GBV became a priority issue in the civic space, it was no surprise the amount of resistance it received (and continues to receive) though some progress has been made.

Sadly, though we have males and females alike as victims of GBV, we see that females (women and girls) are more prone to become victims of GBV due to accepted norms and practices over time.
