 What is Gender Based Violence?

What is the 16 Days of Activism Against gender Based Violence?
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day. 

Why is this important?
Gender-based violence causes severe harm to families and communities. The designated 16 Days of Activism provides an opportunity for the community to band together to reject violence and encourage conversations about preventing violence. The 16 Days of Activism will explore the notion of respect, demonstrating the ways we can all shift and question misguided and outdated attitudes that allow gender prejudice to fester, creating a climate where violence is more likely to occur.  Gender inequality has been identified as a key driver of gender-based violence. 

Our goal as the OGALANDLORD Foundation is to create awareness and make room for partnership in order to make further  research plus real stories from perpetrators and survivors of family violence to identify effective prevention strategies to end violence using Media as it is our slogan to use the Media 4 Development. 

We would be using our radio platform (Crusadersradio) to bring in resource persons to discuss and create awareness, also to give room for victims to share their stories as we are body that gives voice to humanity getting justice to the victims. 

All our social Media platforms such as Instagram, X ( formally known as Twitter) Facebook, TikTok, YouTube are open and serve as our educative room . 
We believe that at the end of this excercise we would have achieved an enlightened society against Gender based Violence.

Crusaders Radio gathered that the kidnappers contacted the families of the kidnapped victims demanding huge ransoms to secure the release of those held in captivity. The families who rallied together and sold personal effects and properties were barely able to raise the ransom which was a moment too late as one of the hostages had been shot dead by the bandits and the ransom loot was still collected from the families The Bandits therefore made a fresh request for more monies or their loved ones would suffer the same fate and threatening to throw the remains of the deceased into the river The families of the abducted, with very little options at their disposal were constrained to raise a ransom fee of Twen...

As a violation of human rights, we have a moral imperative to stop all forms of violence against women and girls. In crisis, whether conflict or natural disaster, the risk of Gender Based Violence increases, and so does our collective need to act to prevent Gender Based Violence before it happens or respond to the needs of women and girls when it does. Women and girls are disproportionately impacted by all forms of gender-based violence.
