The Government, its partners and other stakeholders routinely carry out enlightenment campaigns during the annual 16 days of activism on violence against women to raise awareness on issues of GBV across the country. Various groups have held awareness campaigns in tertiary and secondary institutions to raise awareness on both GBV and VAW among youths in formal educational institutions. Others have media campaigns —television and radio programmes. (f) Mobilizing men in the fight against GBV The involvement of men is crucial to achieving the desired change in gender based norms which fuels the incidence of GBV. To this end, various organizations are mobilizing men and boys to reduce GBV and promote gender equity and equality. The Ebonyi Men’s Resource Centre (EB-MRC) which is hosted by Daughters of Virtue and Empowerment Initiative (DOVENET) has a network of men, allied with women, acting as role models in violence prevention and positive masculinity. The UNFPA carries out a yearly dialogue with young boys and traditional rulers on their role in eliminating gender based violence while the UN-Women has a network of male champions on VAW. Dealing with Abductions and Internally Displaced There is no doubt that crisis situation in Nigeria especially in the Northern parts of the country has escalated and have led to an increase in the number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) across the country. Nigeria is said to have over 3,000,000 IDPs with over 20 camps across the affected states. In response to this, Government set up some interventions such as:  Presidential Initiatives to support infrastructural development and reconstruction in the crisis affected areas.  Save Schools Initiatives Project initiated by United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education, Mr. Gordon Brown and a coalition of Nigerian Business leaders in May 2014 to provide additional security and security personnel for pupils and students including provision of school facilities to ensure safe, secure and conducive environment for learning.  The Victims Support Fund which was able to raise N100 Billion ($625m USD) in support of the care and rehabilitation for the victims of Boko Haram, who have been predominantly women and children. Accelerating Equality between Men and Women Introduction The Nigerian Government has made and continues to make laws and policies striving to consistently put in place necessary mechanisms for enforcing such laws and implementing its policies in order to ensure that it remains on course towards bridging gender gaps in different sectors. The FMWASD, NCWD, CSOs and other development partners have also worked and collaborated on various interventions to ensure gender equality at the 3 levels of government and in all sectors.
