Gyel Youths Unite to Break Chains of GBV, Child Trafficking



By: Labaran Ahmed 

In a bid to tackle the scourge of gender-based violence (GBV) and child trafficking, the Plateau State Youth Council (PYC) Gyel District, in collaboration with the Gyel Illustrious Sons and Daughters Forum and Inspire Network and Peace for Community Development, organized a one-day sensitization program at the Gyel Community Club in Jos South, Plateau State.


The initiative, titled "Breaking the Chains: Empowering Youth Against Gender-Based Violence and Child Trafficking," brought together youths from various schools within Gyel, including Cocin Private School Rankyeng, Peace Academy Bukuru, Divine High School Lyoh Gyel, Beauty of God College Sot-Gyel, Salvation Private School Sot, and Wunato Secondary School Gyel.


In his opening remarks, Comrade Tengwong Yohana Thomas, described GBV and child trafficking as "silent epidemics" that have been ravaging the society, resulting in "shattered dreams, lost potential, and unrealized futures." 


He urged stakeholders, traditional leaders, religious leaders, and youths to join forces in combating these social vices, empowering youths with knowledge and skills to promote a safer, more prosperous community.


The program aims to equip youths with the necessary tools to break the chains of GBV and child trafficking, fostering a culture of peace, dignity, and respect for human rights.
