Rivers Women Unite For Sim, Advocates For Women’s Protection

Rivers Women under the aegis of Rivers Women Unite for SIM has pledged to continue praying for the peace and development of the State, assuring that no form of negative attack on the State will deter them from praying as God will always secure the State.

The women further called on all well-meaning people to protect the women from all forms of violence whether domestic, public or in the work place, but continue to accord them the respect that they deserved as part of this year’s International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls which is a 16-day event.

They said in this age of equal opportunities and human rights for all people it will be antithetical to subject women to all forms of harassment, intimidation and violence that tend to debase and dehumanize them.
