The campaign displays the support for the victims of gender based violence, whether in marriages or communities.
The volunteer students from the University of Ibadan numbering about 50 wore orange shirts with inscriptions such “#I stand against violence”. They also carried placards with inscriptions such as “Love is Kind, Violence is blind”, “NO is NO”, “Gender equality is non-negotiable” among many other inscriptions as they walk from the school’s gate to the state Secretariat in Agodi.
