The Ikeja Local Government Council joined it’s counterparts across the state and embarked on an awareness walk in Ikeja to mark the Lagos State Awareness Week against domestic and sexual violence. With a clear message of zero tolerance, the council joined residents and stakeholders to speak up, raise consciousness, and strengthen community support systems for survivors.
Under the theme for safer communities, the walk served as a public call to action reaffirming that violence has no place in homes, relationships, and the society. The council urged everyone to take responsibility by speaking out against abuse, discouraging harmful practices, and ensuring affected persons are not left in silence.
As officials marched together, the council also reiterated its commitment to protection, education, and prompt responses to reports of violence. This awareness effort reminds all that change is possible because SGVB ends with us, and a safer Lagos starts with collective action and courage.
