Kebbi First Lady Presents ‘Time To Break the Silence’ Campaign Against Rape Videos

The campaign against rape gathers momentum as the First Lady of Kebbi State, Dr Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu presents two enlightment videos titled”Break The Silence “.

The videos which are done in Hausa but subtitled in English talk about the need for rape victims to speak out and not suffer in silence anymore whether the rapists are outsiders or relations.

Victims of rape in most cases are subjected to ridicule, stigmatisation and silenced while the perpetrators walk away.

Dr Shinkafi-Bagudu said she wants to use the videos to heighten the awareness against rape because of the rising cases of rape.

The videos were produced by Ali Jita, a popular Kannywood singer and supported by Media Women Forum, a group of senior female Journalists, including Media Owners and Broadcasters.

It was founded to champion the cause of Women and children.
