Youth Sports Movement

Join us in celebrating the impactful conclusion of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence in Abuja! ACYSD is truly thankful for the chance to work with the FCT Women Affairs Secretariat in crafting, planning, and implementing activities to honour this crucial campaign.

Guided by the visionary leadership of our pioneer Mandate Secretary , we traversed the entire FCT, uniting with key stakeholders across the 6 Area Councils. She led the delivery of impactful messages against SGBV, uniting our voices in a collective effort.
Kudos to the dynamic Honourable Mandate Secretary for effectively engaging with communities—traditional rulers, women's groups, students, and political leaders—all coming together to fortify the fight against SGBV.

As we mark the end of these 16 days, let's celebrate the power of unity and collective investment in the fight against SGBV. Join us in supporting the rehabilitation of survivors and fostering a united front for change!
