The Desk Officer of the Child Rights Abuse/Trafficking Unit in the Ebonyi State Ministry of Justice and Social Development,

Ajah-Nwachukwu said, “Children are being abused and the perpetrators are living in our environment; what are we doing about it as media practitioners? Children are being stolen and mothers suffer it most. What have you done about it as journalists? In our ministry, we have over 22 reported cases of stolen children; child stealing is on the increase in our state.”

The Gender Desk Officer of the Ebonyi State Police Command, DSP Loveth Okwor-Ogbuanya, said, “Gender-based violence is an offense and it is the duty of all to report offenders to the police. Issues of child stealing and disappearance are on the rise in Ebonyi State.” In her brief presentation, the EU-UN Spotlight Initiative Communications Coordinator at UNICEF, Khadija Nuhu, charged journalists to open up discussions with the initiative’s partners and resource persons to deepen their roles in ending violence against women and girls.
