Gender Based Violence on Women and Children: The Way Forward

Abstract

This paper argues that violence against women and children is prevalent. Issues of GBV against women and children has already eaten deeper into the fabrics of the church and society. The church is expected to guard against GBV. Unfortunately, proper attention in curbing GBV is not given by the church as a custodian to the marginalised. The paper using historical methods of research proffers ways of addressing GBV by the church, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the United Nations. Focus on women and children is important as they are bedrocks of societal development and growth.
