A Non Governmental organization, Human Development Initiative Foundation, HDIF, has called for a collective effort to stop online bullying especially against women and girls to ensure freedom of expression.

Executive Director, HDIF, Mrs Olufunso Owasanoye, made the call in a chat with Correspondent Yemisi Dada in commemoration of this year's sixteen days of activism against gender based violence which runs from November 25 to December 10 every year.

She noted that one out of three women faces violence which calls global human rights emergency, hence the need for global effort to raise awareness, call for change and mobilize actions to prevent and end violence against women and girls.

Speaking on this year's theme: End Digital violence against all women and girls, Mrs Owasanoye emphasized that online bullying can silence voices and drive victim to depression linking many mental health cases to Cyber bullying.

Mrs Owasanoye appealed to President Bola Tinubu to as a matter of urgency assent to the Cyber bullying bills passed by the National Assembly to sanitize the social media space, with call for aggressive awareness campaign against online abuse.
