“Soludo’s Wife Calls for Action Against Gender Violence”

Mrs Nonye Soludo, wife of Anambra State Governor, has urged women facing gender-based violence (GBV) to speak up and seek help. She made the call in a message marking the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on Tuesday.

She advised victims to confide in trusted individuals, report to women’s groups, or contact authorities. “Speaking up is a major aspect of fighting this scourge. We can end GBV if concerns are properly addressed,” she said.

Mrs Soludo also emphasized practical activism, including empowering women through education, providing healthcare access, creating job opportunities, and strengthening social institutions. She noted that Anambra State has made strides in improving support for women and girls.

The 16-day “Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence” campaign runs until December 10, highlighting that the fight against GBV requires action beyond words and hashtags
