Justice Development and Peace Caritas (JDPC Nnewi) Empowerment Programs

 

Justice Development and Peace Caritas, JDPC Nnewi of the Nnewi Archdiocese of the Roman catholic church is organising quarterly exclusive meeting with women & People with disabilities (PWDs) to increase their knowledge about rights and participatory governance. JDPC Nnewi has been running this program in at least eight (8) communities in Ekwusigo and Nnewi South local government areas of Anambra state.

In Osumenyi community of Anambra state, some of the women have started putting what they have learnt from the training into judicious use as they resisted the exploitation ploy by illegal revenue collectors.

Earlier meetings have actually proven that this training seems be a safe space for the women and PWDs to express issues they face regularly in their individual communities with regards to their rights and hindrances for participating in governance and an opportunity for the JDPC Nnewi to follow up on emerging issues and provide support to tackle the issues.
