The training on Non Violent Communication (NVC) is like a golden key it can either open or close the doors of peace and conflict. I now have a new lens to approach conflict and violence.

I have seen firsthand the power of communicating non-violently. It has given me new insight into how to approach mediation and reconciliation with respect and empathy.

Rugar Fulani Community Potiskum

Since women make up the majority of the population, it’s only fair they are given equal opportunity in political leadership. I urge my fellow men to rise up and support women just as other nations have done.

Domestic violence has drastically reduced in our community. With establishment and support from women Savings and Loans groups, many women have started small businesses and become less financially dependent on their husbands. This shift has brought more peace into homes now; husbands stay back and converse with their wives, unlike before.
