Gender-based civil society groups in Enugu State have been marching to in a bid to raise awareness and garner support against rising cases of sexual violence in Nigeria and in the state.

The women groups which were led by the Executive Director of Women Aid Collective (WACOL), Prof. Joy Ezeilo marched from the state House of Assembly Complex to the Government House where they were received by the state Attorney General, Chief Mellitus Eze, state Chief of Staff, Dr Festus Uzor and Deputy Chief of Staff, Prof Malachy Ukwueze.

Professor Ezeilo said the spike in sexual-based violence especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic was worrisome as it has taken a new unacceptable dimension with women no longer feeling safe.
