On Saturday November 30, 2024, the Harmony Advocacy Network (HAN) championed a powerful campaign in Ibeju-Lekki communities as part of the ongoing 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. With an unwavering commitment to combat Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault, HAN organized a vibrant road walk that brought together voices of advocacy, resilience, and change.
The impactful event spanned several communities, including Adeba, Lakowe, Golf Estate, Orinbanwa, Eputu, and Mayfair, all within the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area. Participants carried bold placards with messages like “Speak Up,” “Say No to Domestic Violence,” and “Stop Sexual Violence,” creating a ripple of awareness and empowerment across the communities.
The road walk was more than just an event; it was a call to action urging residents to recognize the signs of abuse, support survivors, and foster a culture of zero tolerance toward violence. HAN’s representatives engaged with residents, sharing practical advice on standing up against abuse, encouraging victims to break the silence, and emphasizing the importance of protecting children and vulnerable persons.
The success of the outing was a testament to the collective effort of dedicated sponsors and supporters who shared in HAN’s vision for a safer and more equitable society. Sponsors include:
Advocates For Children And Vulnerable Persons Network
Mars Properties
Kelani Ayinde Nig. Ltd.
Chief Happy Ogheneovo

These partners, along with many others, played pivotal roles in ensuring the event’s success and amplifying its impact.
Harmony Advocacy Network extended heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the meaningful cause. Together, the cycle of violence can be broken and communities where every individual, especially the most vulnerable, can thrive in safety and dignity, can be built.
