Miss Nigeria 2013 BeginsAdvocacy against SexualViolence

Miss Nigeria 2013 Ezinne Akudo Anyaoha, has begun her advocacy against sexual violence against young women in Nigeria. The Queen, who intends to use personal interactions, the traditional media and social media in her drive, has begun with a heartfelt message to young women in Nigeria. A message which she intends to use all communication mediums to make sure gets to young Nigerian women in every nook and cranny of the country. Recognising that sexual violence is prevalent in Nigeria, Anyaoha stressed that young women can avoid being raped by avoiding walking in dark corners alone and also advised them to inform at least one person of their whereabouts at all times. She added that young women should always talk to someone about harassment and molestation. In her words: “Always talk to someone about harassment and molestation. Don't be a victim. Speak Up! It's your right”. She however enjoined all well meaning Nigerians to join her in fighting this anomaly. The formal launch of her pet project ‘Project SEV’ an initiative which seeks to curb sexual violence against young women in Nigeria will take place in a few weeks.
