Assessment of the Role of Evangelical Church Winning All in Combating Physical Violence against Women in North Central, Nigeria
Abstract
This research examined the role of the Evangelical Church Winning All in combating physical violence against women in North Central Nigeria, employing a descriptive survey design. From a population of 6,019,230, a sample of 1,275 respondents was randomly selected, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire, with analysis carried out using mean scores. The results showed that the Evangelical Church Winning All contributes significantly to addressing physical violence against women through its teachings, sermons, counseling, women’s fellowship activities, and outreach initiatives that foster non-violence and awareness. The study concludes that ECWA remains a key actor in reducing physical violence against women in the region by engaging in teachings, counseling, women’s fellowships, and community-based programs. It further recommends that ECWA should institutionalize continuous training for pastors, counselors, and fellowship leaders on gender-based violence to ensure the sustainability of knowledge and advocacy, while also strengthening collaborations with government agencies, civil society groups, and community leaders to build durable support systems such as referral mechanisms, safe spaces, and rehabilitation services for survivors.
