• Centre LSD trains over 11,700 male feminist advocates nationwide
Popular Nigerian actor, writer and producer, Chief Richard Evans Mofe-Damijo (RMD), has been appointed as a Male Feminists Network (MFN) Ambassador for the Prevention of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) by the African Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development (Centre LSD).
RMD, alongside other ambassadors, will spearhead a nationwide campaign against gender-based violence in Nigeria.
Speaking to journalists after his inauguration on Friday in Abuja, the 65-year-old veteran actor called for greater inclusion of women, particularly in government, saying experience has shown that women deliver results when given leadership responsibilities.
He said, “Personally, when I produced a film two years ago, about 80 per cent of my crew were women. I always tell people in my profession that if you want things done in government, put a woman in charge, and you can sleep with both eyes closed,” he said.
