Dabiri in the news bulletin called on international organisations and well- meaning citizens of the world to rise up in one voice against the rampant abuse of human rights, especially the rights of women by their male counterparts as a demonstration of solidarity and in compliance with all known laws against human and women rights across the globe.However, the Committee urged all Nigerians in diaspora to live responsibly wherever they may reside, imploring the Nigerian Foreign Missions, international community and law enforcement agencies to frontally wage war against all forms of human right abuse against other citizens of the world, irrespective of colour, creed or race.Source : Nigerian observer
