"Extreme poverty is one of the most extensive forms
of violence in the world. It is perhaps the most brutal and unforgiving form of poverty. It is also the cause of tens of millions of children going hungry, missing out of school or being forced into child labour, with little access to shelter and health facilities." – Rev. Fred Nyabera, Director, End Child Poverty.

As the world marks the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, let us raise awareness on ending conflict-related sexual violence, honour the victims and survivors of sexual violence around the world and acknowledge those who have stood against these crimes. It is essential to recognize and tackle gender inequality as the driver of sexual violence, in times of war and peace.

For the world to move forward, for friendship to last and for families to prosper, trust and faith must be at the core and the corner stone of every action. Without proper planning based on trust and faith, the world may lack cohesiveness and sustainability. Let us strive to promote a united and inclusive world!
