A concerned group, Women in Peace Building Network has resolved to use massive advocacy to check hate speech and fake news.
The group expressed its resolution in a communiqué it issued after its one day forum on security challenges in the south eastern part of the country held in Enugu.
Signed by Mrs Azuka Egbuonu, one of the coordinators of the group, the women raised concerns about the prevalence of hate speech and the impact of violence and crisis on women and children.
“We resolved that we would engage the legislators, religious leaders and traditional rulers in the south eastern part of the country to sustain peace.
“We also solicited the assistance of the state governors in the south eastern part of the country to develop a robust and practical plan to empower the teeming number youths in the region,’’ the women said.
They thanked Nigerians that had shown genuine concern to the recent development in the region and promised to promote peace and unity of the country.
