FIDA Nigeria Leads Statewide Forum in Plateau to Strengthen Action Against Gender-Based Violence with Support from Ford Foundation

In Plateau State, a significant step was taken to deepen efforts in ending violence against women and girls. With the support of the Ford Foundation, FIDA Nigeria convened a statewide experiential learning forum that spotlighted critical issues and fostered impactful dialogue among key stakeholders.

The forum served as a strategic platform where traditional and religious leaders, civil society groups, male gender advocates, and state officials came together to assess progress in the fight against gender-based violence (GBV). Through open discussions and the sharing of lived experiences, participants examined successful interventions, identified persistent gaps, and explored new ways to better support survivors and prevent future cases.

What emerged from the forum was more than just insight — it was a collective renewal of purpose. Stakeholders pledged to reinforce collaboration, scale up effective strategies, and strengthen systems that protect the rights and dignity of women and girls across Plateau State.

This forum marks yet another milestone in FIDA Nigeria’s unwavering commitment to building a society free from all forms of gender-based violence.
