A toll-free hotline geared at encouraging residents to report violations of religious freedom in Taraba State has been launched.
The initiative was introduced on Saturday during the screening of the movie, ‘Bridging the Abyss’, in Jalingo, the state capital.
Our reporter gathered that the initiative is part of ongoing efforts to promote peaceful coexistence and religious tolerance in the region.
The hotline – 080-0000-2233 – which was announced by the Senior Project Officer for Search for Common Ground, SFCG, Habiba Gazali, emphasized the importance of using the platform to report instances where individuals are targeted based on their religious beliefs.
She reassured the public that measures are already in place to protect the safety of those who report such violations.
“SFCG has trained lawyers and human rights defenders to handle these cases effectively,” said Gazali
