 And the International Alert and Global Peace Development have built safe spaces in Gosuka and Dangoma communities of Kadena State to address the increasing incidence of sexual and gender-based violence. These spaces will serve as referral centres, providing survivors with psychosocial support, trauma healing, counselling and vocational skills. They aim to rebuild confidence, restore stability and ensure social justice for victims. And the International Alert... It's something that supports our women in the community to have a place where they have interaction. Ultimately, peace benefits everybody in the community. It benefits our traditional leaders, it benefits our religious leaders, it benefits youths, it benefits our children because without peace we cannot find, without peace, there cannot be development. And so peace is very important in our lives. What conflict does, and I'm sure we are all aware of how conflict has affected us or some communities around us. What conflict does is that it brings retrogression, it brings sorrow, it brings pain and it doesn't help us to carry on with our livelihood activities. International Alert Director Hannah Ward aims to foster peace and unity between conflicting communities by supporting women and girls in building resilience. The local communities to see the opening of the safe space and to learn more about the incredible peace-building work that's been happening in Kaduna State. I'm really impressed, I think it's extraordinary how two communities who were in conflict with each other can come together like this in such a short time and spend time together and reconcile their differences and then open such an exciting new space for women to feel safe and to share their experiences and to support one another. From International Alert we'll continue to support projects and communities like this. We hope that in the future we can open more safe spaces and do future work with more communities to build more peace in this region. Press concerns over sexual gender-based violence and violent conflicts in communities, focusing on cultural norms and societal challenges faced by women. They believe all stakeholders including traditional leaders and community members must work together to expose perpetrators and ensure justice. One major hindrance for the women did not have enough space to talk to themselves. They have no place that is safe for them to talk except in an open environment. So we felt we should provide them a protected safe space that they women and young girls can have time to sit down, discuss issues that concern them and address them holistically as a body that will individual engagement of duty bearers. We felt let's promote access to justice for women and girls so that they don't bring someone from outside to come and become an individual community when women understand that they play a role in peace process because the women peace and mission platform were established to support the same space and more women, government men and also youth and people with security agencies. In the face of this building, I would say I am the one because we were facing so much challenges before the coming of this global peace development and international alert because we women, we don't have, we don't know our rights. We were facing so many challenges, we don't know where to go. We don't know where to get justice. A woman would be maltreated, she would be beaten from her husband. She have nowhere to go because we don't know where to go. Because that time they don't get blessed that they will go and get themselves there. But now when global peace and international alert came women get strength now to speak and if women have problem they will not hide it. They will prove it and international alert we said to them and they will get peace for their men.
