She highlighted the media role as a powerful agenda-setter and mindset shaper and charged them to use their platforms to build a culture where violence is neither normalized nor tolerated.

In his keynote address, the special adviser to Osun governor on Public Communication, Mr. Olusola Ajala said everybody has a role to play towards putting an end to VAWG.

He said, “We must get to a point where the society will say, ‘We don’t do this here’ adding that’ the moment the society frowns at perpetrators, it becomes aberration.”

He noted that arbitrary sensationalising of violence stories by media practitioners especially as it affects girls and women for whatever reason will have negative impact on the victim, send wrong signals to the society and eventually have negative consequences on the medium of communication.

In her contribution, a media practitioner, Bisola Ariwodola stressed the need to domesticate the violence against women and girls prohibition law to make it more effective and also protect victims from stigmatisation.
