The American University of Nigeria (AUN) and Maigoje Foundation jointly organised a UNFPA-funded workshop on community-based capacity building on gender-based violence in emergencies to equip women survivors and critical stakeholders in Gujba Local Government Area, Yobe State, with the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to effectively prevent and respond to GBV incidents.
The workshop brought together key stakeholders, including the Chairman of Gujba LGA, Hon.

Also in attendance were the Chief Imam of Buni Yadi, CAN Chairman, Women and Youth Leaders, and 35 women survivors of GBV, that were previously trained by Maigoje Foundation on leadership, peace, and skill acquisition through the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), via its Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) in 2021.
