About Us

Sometimes in 2016, a group of men and women (10 in Number) came together in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State of NIGERIA in a roundtable discussion to analyse the spates of violence, social injustices, environmental pollution, violence affecting women and (VAWG), lower number of women in Politics and decision-making cadre, effects of unemployment and poor economic status of women, particularly the widows and girls in the society. The fact that women are vulnerable to discrimination and their continuous silence towards gender  based violence (GBV), the existence of strong patriarchal traditions, poor knowledge as to their rights and lack of confidence, have hindered women from seeking their rights to live and livelihood. This passionate move resulted in the formation of  Advocates of Peace, Nature and Gender Justice (APNAG).
