Oxfam International has promised to continue to defend those who are marginalised, and whose rights have been trampled upon.
It gave the promise at the fifth anniversary of its VOICE project, aimed at defending the rights of women in society.
The VOICE project, is being implemented with support from the Netherlands and focuses on Nigerian women who are victims of abuse.
At the anniversary celebration held on Wednesday in Abuja, Constant Tchona, Oxfam country director in Nigeria, said the organisation believes that the country’s sustainable development depends on “the collective effort we make to recognise the different levels of disabilities in the society”.
