Onigbanjo disclosed this during a media parley on Wednesday, in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, to commemorate the Domestic and Sexual Violence Awareness Month, September.
He said that the theme of this year’s activities: “It’s On Us,” is “based on the compelling need to ensure that residents of Lagos realize that ending the menace of Sexual Gender-Based Violence is indeed a collective effort, which requires the support and collaboration of all members of society.”
He unveiled various activities, which are usually earmarked to commemorate the Month, to include: Turn Alausa Purple/Advocacy Walk- It’s On Us To End SGBV, “which involves embarking on advocacy walks against Domestic and Sexual Violence.
“It is proposed that this year on the 1st of September 2022, Turn Alausa Purple/Advocacy Walk takes place within the secretariat. Public servants are encouraged to wear a touch of purple, in solidarity with the walk.”
He said that there will be Market Fiesta, tagged: “Men Wey Sabi, to contribute towards breaking gender stereotypes, which directly and indirectly encourage the perpetration of Sexual and Gender Based Violence.
He added that the initiative would educate individuals on gender roles, which are social constructs.
Among others, Onigbanjo said that there will be a symposium (Tales of Survivors), which will have in attendance survivors, stakeholders and policy makers.
The Attorney General said: “During the symposium, survivors will be given the opportunity to share their stories. This would be an intimate gathering, which would include other relevant stakeholders.”
