Vice-president, Yemi Osinbajo calls for punishment of people found guilty of gender based violence and the adoption of preventive measures against this form of violence.
This launch is in line with the 16days of International campaign to put an end to violence against women and girls.
The theme for this year's campaign is 'Orange the world: Generation Equality stands against Rape '
This campaign, which usually runs from the 25th of November through 10th of December, is in response to the volume of marginalization that women go through based on our gender.

What I am mostly impressed about, is the fact that the Nigerian vice-president is lending his voice to this campaign. He encourages every country to look beyond systematic dysfunction of cultures in other to prevent sexual based violence.  He emphasis everyone to stop downgrading speeches towards women.

I think it is very important that people found guilty of sexual violence be brought to book by the law because if this not done, these act will definitely continue.
Parents generally have a huge role to play in this respect. Because as parents raising children, we have to make sure that we imbibe the knowledge of ZERO tolerance to gender/sexual based violence.
