The campaign targets over 750,000 women and community members, promoting access to reliable information on women's rights and GBV support services.
Vice Chairman Hon. Yusuf Nadabo represented Maikalangu at the launch. Dr. Suzan Agada, National Programme Officer for UN Women Nigeria, highlighted the need for inclusive development and gender equality, noting that access to information is crucial for women's empowerment, especially in rural areas.
