 The International Alert, IA in collaboration with Global Peace Development GDP, has trained 50 community facilitators on conflict prevention and management in Kaduna State. The two days training is aimed at engaging communities prone to violence, religious leaders and all the relevant stakeholders in pursuance to lasting peace as panacea to sustainable growth and development in the state and nation at large. The country director of International Alert, Dr. Paul Unyulaku says the training will enhance local dispute resolution processes and strengthen conflict prevention, management with gender sensitivity advocacy for the residents. Key stakeholders and resource persons from Sexual Assault Referral Center, Kafenchen, says 3,108 women, girls and children are assaulted with life injury in society, noting that networking and zero tolerance to any forms of abuse and conflict will be reduced to the barest minimum. It is training the capacity of the data facilitators on conflict prevention, management, conflict and gender sensitivity and analysis and advocacy. Managing conflict to participating in early warning but it is also very important as community stakeholders to follow on using advocacy medium to persons, key decision makers that are in position to make changes that will further sustain the peace that we have in our communities. Mostly women and children are most vulnerable in our societies, not as if men are not been assaulted. I think we have 10% of men that have been assaulted against 19% women and children being assaulted. We've recorded a lot of cases of assault. I think in my center we recorded 3,108 cases as at July, July 2023 from inception 2019. We all fight it together because it's everybody's business, it's not one man's business and so we need to strengthen the synergy. Our experience shows that there's leakages in one place or the other. Sometimes yes, the son of social, the son of somebody commit the offense and before you know because the survival is vulnerable and the case passes under the water and that is giving us a consign. And one thing about the sexual and gender based violence, it could be anybody, anywhere, anytime. It has no respect for age, it has no respect for religion and it has no equal respect for gender. So we have recorded men that were also assaulted. Chosen to manage conflict and also gather skills for conflict, management and prevention. In addition, in their communities they would also have dialogues. People who are part of these workshops are people who come from communities where have been greatly impacted by conflict. So the essence of this workshop is actually to build their capacity in conflict prevention, conflict management, also including gender, gender sensitivity in all of these, like considering the impact of conflict for instance and how it affects women, men, youth, children, boys and girls.
