To curb Gender-based Violence (GBV) against women and girls, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) based in Abuja, FAME Foundation, has launched its 16 days of “Activism Campaign against GBV” in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

At a press briefing in Abuja during the weekend, the executive director of FAME Foundation, Arabinrin Aderonke Ogunleye-Bello, called on the relevant bodies, including the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to prosecute those involved in crimes against women and sexual abuse in the country.

Ogunleye-Bello said the 16 days of activism campaign, running from November 25 to December 10 annually, is a global event.

 This year’s theme: “UNITE! Invest to Prevent Violence against Women and Girls,” she said underscored the urgent need for collective action and investment to eliminate gender-based violence.

She said gender-based violence affects individuals irrespective of gender, thriving in silence and fueled by societal norms and shame. She noted that while girls and women are often the primary targets, men can also be victims.

Ogunleye-Bello said, “FAME Foundation’s focus this year is on boys and men, aiming to break the chains and create safe spaces for survivors to speak out and seek support.

“Noted that the survivors often carry the weight of their experiences, leading to a cycle of trauma. Understanding that the impact of GBV goes beyond physical scars, Ogunleye-Bello highlighted the importance of educating, empowering, and supporting survivors for a more equitable and just society.”

Ogunleye-Bello urged the unity of men, women, boys, and girls. She emphasized that silence perpetuates the cycle, urging everyone to lend their voices, listen without judgement, and support survivors on their healing journey.
