Governor Ambode Led An All Male Walk, Against Domestic And Sexual Violence In Lagos #saynotorape

 

Lagos state Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode led a group of men on a walk against sexual and gender based violence in the state.

The Governor spoke during the walk and urged all security agencies to come up with evidences against at least 11 individuals in the state, including highly placed individuals, to be used as scapegoats.

The Governor  said….

“I will like you to join hands with me to say no to rapists, say no to women beaters and wherever they are.”

He continued – “We know that the Task Force that we have set up will swing into action once it receives any petition from any member of the society. We are looking for the first 11 scapegoats whether highly or lowly placed in the society. We say no to domestic violence and sexual abuse.
He also said, “We should not take for granted the potential exponential effect of having emotionally and psychologically damaged women in a society as the effect could transcend to their children who grow up in an environment, thinking this is the norm… Using highly placed individuals perpetrating the act as scapegoats will act as deterrence to others.”
