Mens involvement in ending Violence Against women

I was really impressed by the men's participation in ending violence against women in Nigeria, organised by the pastor. If society guided by the church can slowly encourage men to share in this way, they would get more sensitised and slowly violence against women wolud reduce.
The greatest challenge is that most policy makers being men, are themselves naive about VAW and would need to be sensitised. Inclusion of GBV issues in all aspects of programs, policy gender consideration would really help make this place a better place and more peaceful.
We are reminded to show and extend love, respect, and peace to others to help reduce violence against women and this will be work better with social inclusion where men are involved, sensitized and molded to practice some of the basic and minimal principles and values that appreciate women.
It begins in the family and with you and me, then we can share it with others.
