The Founder and Executive Director of BCAI, Mr. Sani Muhammad while welcoming the High Commissioner and other delegates, gave an overview of the work BCAI has been doing over the years to promote Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights and the organization’s efforts to curb Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in the State.

He went further to intimate the delegates on how BCAI has been at the forefront in the struggle to create a conducive and safer environment for the vulnerable groups particularly children, women and girls. While recollecting BCAI’s first policy advocacy on the domestication of Child Protection Bill and its relentless effort towards the passage of the Bill in Kano State.
