The Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration in Lagos State has launched a strategic partnership with 16 traditional rulers to intensify the fight against Gender-Based Violence (GBV).
This initiative, spearheaded by the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA), aligns with the ongoing 2024 16 Days of Activism to Eliminate Gender-Based Violence, which commenced on November 25.
Speaking during the campaign’s launch at the Oniwaya of Iwaya Palace in Yaba, DSVA Executive Secretary Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi highlighted the importance of engaging traditional leaders to bridge awareness gaps and encourage action in areas with high incidences of GBV.
“We are spotlighting 16 traditional rulers in the state for their support in the fight against SGBV,” she said.
Commending the initiative, the Oniwaya of Iwaya Kingdom, Oba Suleiman Owolabi Oloko, praised Governor Sanwo-Olu’s leadership and urged communities to embrace this cause.
