(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – As a way of ameliorating the sufferings of survivors of Sexual Gender Based Violence (SGBV), a non- governmental organization, Parent – Child Intervention Centre, PCIC, has distributed assorted food palliatives to victims in Enugu.

The Executive Director of the organization, Ambassador Peggy Chukwuemeka, while presenting the items to the beneficiaries Thursday in Enugu said, “Most SGBV survivors require at least food to live on.

According to her, “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 on 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, noodles, 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 boss however, expresses gratitude to Action Aid Nigeria and Global Affairs Canada for their support and sponsorship respectively.
