Speaking at the event, the Minister for Women Affairs, Imaani Sulaiman Ibrahim, commended the Lagos State Government for its innovative empowerment programmes and effective strategies in addressing gender-based violence. 


She noted that Lagos serves as a benchmark for other states, highlighting the collaborative efforts of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) and other institutions under the leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.


The Minister called for victims of domestic violence to break their silence and share their experiences, assuring them of support at both state and federal levels. She stressed that the economic empowerment of women is key to fostering resilience and ensuring their contribution to nation-building.


During her address, the Minister expressed her readiness to work closely with Lagos State to establish systems that encourage victims to report gender-based violence freely. She also promised to advocate for increased federal support for victims and the implementation of policies that promote the safety and well-being of women and girls nationwide.


Listening to Survivors at the event highlighting how Lagos State’s interventions have positively impacted their lives, the Federal Minister encouraged them to remain strong and become advocates for public enlightenment against gender-based violence.
