He revealed that the Churches&#8217; Campaign Against SGBV in Africa will run with the Slogan: Let Love lead: End SGBV now.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaign is a response to the young peoples\u2019 request to the AACC to continue accompanying their efforts to eliminate GBV, during the All Africa Youth Congress, in Accra Ghana, in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Ann Kioi, AACC\u2019s Programs Development and Fundraising officer affirmed that the campaign focuses on young people as major stakeholders and beneficiaries with a strong conviction that accelerating the realization of SDG 5 and Aspiration 6 of the Agenda 2063 requires continuously engaging and empowering young people to advocate for an end to all acts of SGBV and promote gender justice in all their spheres of influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRiding on the young people\u2019s desire to build Africa into the kind of home they want to have now and, in the future, as expressed in the AACC\u2019s campaign on the theme: Africa: My Home. My Future., the campaign will be run on Pan-African principles and values.\u201d She said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am happy about the focus on young people, and I strongly endorse this campaign.\u201d Said one of the delegates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rt Rev Arnold Temple, AACC president launched the campaign to run for 2024-2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Global Ministries is committed to joining with partners in work against gender-based violence.
