Reactivation of the Ebonyi State Children Parliaments

Reactivation of the Ebonyi State Children Parliaments: As part of our activities on Safeguarding Children and catching them young, and building them to be conscious conscientious leaders of tomorrow, HRCRC thought about giving them a voice, and a platform to debate, and articulate their issues as it affects them directly in their local communities and environments. This led to the reactivation of the Ebonyi State Children Parliaments in collaboration with the Ebonyi State Ministry of Women and Affairs and Social Development. These parliaments sat and deliberated in the three senatorial zones of the state and came up with Resolutions in form of a communique which was read and presented to the press and the Local Government Leadership of their host.
Last Friday, HRCRC facilitated the leadership of all three parliaments to present the joint combined communique to key Government Officials such as the Speaker of the House of Assembly, the Chief Judge of Ebonyi State, the wife of the Governor, the Commissioner for Women Affairs, the GBV Taskforce, the CSO Network, the National Human Rights Commission, the Attorney General of the State, amongst others.

Conflict Early Warning and Response System (CEWARS) in Ebonyi State

Conflict Early Warning and Response System (CEWARS) in Ebonyi State: Keeping with our peace building mission with a focused emphasis on Conflict Prevention in Ebonyi State rather than responses, and continuing our establishment of Conflict Early Warning and Response System in Ebonyi State, We brought together the trained Early Warning Signs reporters to meet and interface with the Government Stakeholders and Security Agencies and Civil Society responsible for Response. While we continue to play the role of the intermediary for analysis and connection, it is our hope that this system established in the three pilot LGs of Ikwo, Ishielu, and Ohaukwu will be upscaled to all the Local Governments, communities, and zones.
