HIV & AIDS Day 2025: A Call for Justice, Equity & Dignity, Hosted by the Julebrama Women and Children Initiative (JUWACI) under the EMPOWER-U Project.

As we mark World AIDS Day within the 16 Days of Activism, we spotlight the urgent need to protect the rights of people living with or affected by HIV.

Too many suffer in silence due to stigma, discrimination and social exclusion. Too many lack access to treatment, care and emotional support.

On 1 December 2025 at 7 PM (WAT) via Google Meet, join six thought leaders, survivors and specialists as we discuss:
✔ Rights & policy change
✔ Access to healthcare
✔ Psychosocial support
✔ Advocacy & community action

Whether you’re a student, young professional or just curious to learn, this could be the talk that changes how you think.

Let’s break myths, not people.
Let’s spread facts, not stigma.
Let’s raise a voice, not a barrier.

This is not just a discussion, it is a stand for dignity, justice and inclusion.

Because health is a right. Healing is possible. Humanity is non-negotiable.

📢 INVITATION TO JOIN THE 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM EVENT

Focus: Engaging Boys and Men as Allies – Sensitizing Parents and Children
Topic: Our Shared Responsibility: Raising Boys to Become Allies in Ending GBV
Theme: From Roots to Respect: Nurturing a Generation of Equitable Men

In today’s world, silence is no longer an option.

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) continues to threaten the dignity, safety, and future of our societies. If we truly desire sustainable change, we must begin at the roots—in our homes, schools, and communities. It is not enough to protect our daughters; we must raise our sons differently.

This event is designed to start an honest and solution-driven conversation about how we can nurture boys to become men who value respect, equity, and empathy, and how parents, leaders, educators, and young people can work together to disrupt harmful norms.

Why You Should Be Part of This Event
•Because ending GBV is not a women’s struggle—it is a societal responsibility.
•Because lasting change begins with the values we instill in our children today.
•Because boys and men are not just part of the problem, they are crucial to the solution.
•Because you are a voice of influence, and your engagement can help reshape the next generation.

Join us to:
🔥 Understand practical strategies for raising boys as allies
🔥 Learn how to challenge cultural beliefs that normalize violence
🔥 Gain tools to engage men and boys as champions of gender justice
🔥 Collaborate with experts, activists, parents, youths, and community leaders
🔥 Take action during the 16 Days of Activism to end GBV and beyond

Event Highlight
🟣 Interactive panel and dialogue sessions
🟣 Real-life stories, expert insights, and transformative parenting tips
🟣 Youth engagement segment
🟣 Commitment pledges from fathers, sons, community members, and advocates

📍 Be part of the movement from roots to respect.

Let us raise a generation of men who do not have to unlearn violence because they were raised in respect, equity, and humanity.

Your presence is not just requested, it is needed.

📆 Date: 30/11/2025
🕒 Time: 7:00PM WAT
📍 Google meet: https://meet.google.com/hyv-besf-jcw

Understanding Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV)

OGBV is a growing global crisis affecting millions—especially women and marginalized genders. It includes harassment, cyberstalking, doxxing, hate speech, deepfakes, and other forms of tech-enabled abuse.

Key Facts

73% of women globally have faced some form of online violence (UN).

In Nigeria, 76% of women surveyed have experienced harassment such as cyberstalking, non-consensual image sharing, and online threats.

Platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram are major hotspots, often worsened by cultural stigma and victim-blaming.

Why It Happens

Weak law enforcement, poor reporting systems, and cultural norms that normalize abuse leave many survivors unsupported and silenced.

Forms of OGBV

Cyberbullying, hate speech, harassment, unsolicited explicit content, impersonation, and misinformation—each capable of causing serious, lasting harm.

Impact on Survivors

OGBV affects mental health, safety, dignity, and freedom of expression. Many live in fear, trauma, and isolation.

Digital Divide

Limited digital literacy puts many women at greater risk and reduces access to help. Bridging this gap is essential for true online equality.

What Needs to Change

Stronger enforcement of laws like the Cybercrimes Act (2015).

Better response from social media platforms.

Community support and consistent accountability.

Allyship & Community Action

Men, boys, and all community members must speak out, support survivors, and help create safer digital spaces.
Let’s build online communities rooted in empathy, respect, and consent.

Take Action

Let’s stand together to end online gender-based violence and advocate for safer, inclusive digital spaces for all.
