FIDA Lagos Flags off 16 Days of Activism 2022

FIDA Lagos ably led by its Chairperson, Mrs. Chinwe Efobi carried out a sensitization campaign as part of its activities in commemoration of the ’16 Days of Activism’ which was flagged off on 25th November 2022, under the theme: ‘UNITE!: Activism to End Violence Against Women and Girls.

The venue was the Boundary Market, Ajeromi Ifelodun LGA, where members of the body sensitized the market women and men in pidgin English and local languages about women’s rights, as well as the dangers and illegality associated with child molestation, gender-based violence, rape, etc and all forms of gender disparity.

Members of FIDA Lagos drove home their message with placards displaying various inscriptions as follows:
FIDA SAYS NO TO DOMESTICCE
STOP ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN
STOP RAPE
STOP ABUSE
END ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN; etc at strategic locations on the road and in marketplaces.

The activity attracted the attention of passers-by, particularly women who could relate to the issues being discussed, and enthusiastically demonstrated their solidarity with FIDA’s campaign against the menace, as they clamoured for fliers to help sensitize others and help spread FIDA’s gospel.
