The National Democratic Institute (NDI) and USAID have reportedly announced Nollywood actress Stephanie Linus as the new Ambassador for the ‘Stop Violence Against Women In Elections’ Campaign. It is reported by Bella Naija that the announcement was made yesterday at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
The actress pledged her support saying; “I pledge my full support, my voice and everything within my capacity to make sure that these issues are brought to light and to help educate people about this violence and see ways we can put an end to it so that we can have a better society for ourselves and the future generation.”
Stop-VAWIE (Violence Against Women In Elections) Campaign is a project that seeks to create public awareness on various forms of violence against women before, during and after elections in Nigeria, which often militates their active participation in the electoral process.
