Cosmopolitan Women’s Club Campaigns for Rights of Vulnerable Groups

The non-governmental organization - Cosmopolitan Women Club, CWC, of Lagos has advocated for a robust security sector reform for prevention and quick response to violence against women, children and vulnerable groups.

The group equally demanded a framework to reduce existing inequalities, address entrenched structural discrimination, and realize the social and economic rights of the weak, especially women and children. 

The organization said it recognised the need to work with religious and traditional leaders to identify the cultural and religious practices that influence societal insecurity for women, children and vulnerable groups.

While re-affirming that the role of government was to protect lives and properties, the organization urged government at all levels to continue to fulfill its role by ensuring that laws are implemented in ways that encourage justice, equity and fairness.
