Parent-Child Intervention Centre, PCIC, a Non-Governmental Organisation, has distributed assorted food palliatives to survivors of Sexual Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) victims in Enugu as a way of ameliorating their sufferings.
Executive Director of the organisation, Ambassador Peggy Chukwuemeka, while presenting the items to the beneficiaries yesterday in Enugu said “most SGBV survivors require at least food to live on”.
She said: “After evaluations on the survivors, we have come up with the decision of palliative distribution to the survivors for them to at least have some food to live in especially those with children.
“As we mark the end of the Covid-19 top up grant of the WVL Nigeria Project, PCIC distributed palliative (rice, beans, garri, maggi, groundnut oil, salt, Noddles, tomatoes, onions and baby milk for those with babies) to 42 survivors.
“With these food items, we hope to relieve them for a while until they get economically empowered which is one of our objectives. The PCIC boos however, expresses gratitude to Action-aid Nigeria and Global Affairs Canada for their support and sponsorship respectively.
