Producer of VoicesWithin and CEO of Take 7 Media, Bem Pever, highlighted the transformative potential of storytelling in advocacy:“Stories can change hearts, minds, and societies.

A panel discussion followed the screening, featuring thought leaders and advocates who shared actionable insights on combating GBV.

Founder of the Dorothy Njemanze Foundation, Dorothy Njemanze called for dismantling societal stigmas: “Silence allows violence to thrive. We must create safe spaces where survivors feel supported, heard, and empowered to seek justice.”

 

The head of the Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Response Unit at the Federal Ministry of Justice, Yewande Gbola-Awopetu stressed the integration of legal and community support systems:“Justice isn’t just about laws—it’s about ensuring survivors have the support they need to rebuild their lives. Advocacy like this film plays a crucial role in that process.”

The premiere of VoicesWithin not only showcased the power of storytelling but also reignited a commitment to combating GBV through collective action.

As the global campaigqn against GBV progresses, the Daurama Foundation’s initiative underscores that change begins with awareness and flourishes through collaboration.
