    Oluremi Tinubu Urges Collective Action Against Gender-Based Violence

    Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has called for collective action to combat gender-based violence (GBV) as the country joins the global community in marking the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

    This day also signals the start of the annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, an international campaign that seeks to end violence against women and girls.

    It serves as a rallying call to governments, organizations, and individuals to take bold actions in eradicating GBV and fostering a culture of respect and equality.

    In a press statement on Monday, Tinubu highlighted the alarming prevalence of GBV worldwide, with nearly one in three women experiencing physical or sexual violence in their lifetime.

    She noted that Nigeria continues to grapple with harmful practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation, often perpetuated under the guise of cultural or religious norms.
    “Although we are making remarkable progress, many women and girls, especially in rural and underserved areas, remain trapped in cycles of violence and inequality,” she said.

    The First Lady emphasized the importance of multi-sectoral collaboration in addressing GBV.
    She called for improved reporting mechanisms, timely prosecution of offenders, and greater support for survivors.

    Senator Tinubu also underscored the transformative power of education, describing it as a tool to empower girls and enable them to make informed choices.
    “As we observe these 16 days of activism, I urge us to seize this period as a call to action for each of us to challenge harmful behaviours,” she stated.

    Senator Tinubu urged Nigerians to work together to create a society where everyone, regardless of gender, can live free from fear and violence.
    She reaffirmed her commitment to advocating for the rights and well-being of women and girls, particularly through promoting access to education and addressing the root causes of inequality.

    The 16 Days of Activism, which runs until December 10—Human Rights Day—is observed globally with the theme “United to End Violence Against Women and Girls.”
