Combating Gender Based Violence in Nigeria

Nigeria has witnessed a distressing escalation in cases of rape and gender-based violence, leaving us to question the very fabric of our society.

Therefore, because it is imperative that Nigeria addresses the scourge of rape and gender-based violence with urgency and determination, an annual international campaign,16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, which kicked off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, ended 10 December, Human Rights Day.

Started in 1991, the Women’s Global Leadership Institute, it is used as an organizing strategy by individuals and organizations around the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.

Among many actions that showcased advocacy efforts, this year’s campaign called on governments worldwide to share how they are investing in gender-based violence prevention.

As we continue to raise awareness and advocate for change, it is important to recognize the collective responsibility we all have in addressing this issue. It is not enough to simply condemn violence against women and girls – we must actively work towards creating a society where such violence is no longer tolerated. This requires action from individuals, communities, and institutions to challenge harmful norms and promote equality and respect for all.

It is not enough to be a bystander, we must actively stand up and speak out against violence and discrimination. Also, we continue to take action to end this pervasive issue, let’s remember to stay optimistic and hopeful that change is possible.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem, but every small action we take towards creating a safer world for women and girls makes a difference.

Whether it’s educating ourselves and others, speaking out against injustice, or supporting organizations working to support survivors, our efforts are not in vain.

Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to advocate for a world where every woman and girl can live free from fear and violence. Together, we can create a future where equality and safety are the norm.

Let’s keep the conversation going and work towards a brighter, safer future for women and girls everywhere. Together, we can make a difference.

It’s important to remember that this fight doesn’t end after these 16 days – it’s an ongoing battle that requires continuous effort and dedication.

Let us also take this time to reflect on the progress we’ve made and the work that still needs to be done. It’s crucial to stand in solidarity with women and girls who have experienced violence, and to actively work towards creating safer and more inclusive communities for everyone.

Let us use our voices and platforms to amplify the message that violence against women and girls is never acceptable. Together, we can make a difference and create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Though the 16 days of activism against violence towards women and girls has gone, let’s continue to stand up, speak out, and advocate for change.

We must work together to create a world where every woman and girl can live free from all forms of violence.

It’s on all of us to make this a reality.

Empowering women and ensuring gender equality is not just a goal but a necessity for a better world. When women are empowered and treated equally, not only do they thrive, but the entire community benefits.

We need to continue to work towards creating a world where women and girls have equal opportunities and where their voices are heard and valued. This means providing access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, as well as ensuring that they are protected from violence and discrimination.

Again, let’s continue to stand up for women’s rights and work towards a future where all women and girls can live free from violence and fear. Together, we can create a world where empowerment and equality are the norm, not the exception.
