… Says Football can Help Tackle Gender Violence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Football as a sport is an important tool to bring people together and also educate boys about true masculinity, violence prevention and the rights of women. That’s why NWFL Championship side, Naija Ratels Football Club took out time to play a novelty match against a team assembled by it’s President, Barrister Paul Edeh on the 6th of February 2021 at the Area 3 Football pitch, Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A minute of silence was held before the start of the match in memory of victims of Gender-based violence across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game which featured some notable individuals was filled with fun and excitement, as both teams united to end violence against women. The Naija Ratels Ladies scored first through Adanna Nwachukwu before Kenny Jubril equalised late on for the Barrister Paul Edeh side to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
