She noted that the digital environment has become a new frontline, where cyberbullying, impersonation, image-based abuse, and other online violations produce real psychological and social harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FIDA Nigeria reiterated the importance of strengthening the enforcement of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act (2015) and the Cybercrimes Act (2015), ensuring that digital violations are effectively addressed under the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across its branches, the organization will intensify awareness campaigns, legal assistance, digital safety education, and reporting guidance, with special attention to vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FIDA Nigeria called on government institutions, technology platforms, civil society, and communities to assume collective responsibility in addressing both traditional and digital forms of violence. The 2025 campaign is now officially underway, encouraging nationwide engagement throughout the 16 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure
