Community Empowerment for Progress Organisation or CEPO held one-day workshop for women and school girls to report gender-based violence in Yambio.
According to Anisa Radio, the training was under the theme: ‘No excuse for sexual exploitation and abuse or other misconduct’.
CEPO Coordinator Justine Nbgapai says the aim for the round table is to engage school girls and women on how to report gender-based violence cases in line with community and government structure.
He adds that they also want to enhance caring and peaceful society free from sexual exploitation and abuse.
The Coordinator mentions that CEPO will make sure that whoever is being reported of carrying out any form of gender-based violence will face the law.
He mentions that they have been carrying out awareness, but communities let them down by withdrawing some reported cases from authorities.
Deputy Governor of Gbudue State Grace Datiro says time has come to end the bad practices because it has become so rampant in the society.
She calling on CEPO to engaged boys in such training.
Stephanie Fauzia Clement, one of the participants, stresses out that it was good to sensitize girls and women because they lacked knowledge on gender-based violence.
She appeals to her colleagues in Yambio and South Sudan at large to dress responsibly not to put on clothes that can expose them to sexual abuses.
