As a result, he is urging the government to collaborate with non governmental organisations to further sensitise Nigerians on the need to shun the vice.
Ukhurebor made the call while speaking with the newsmen in Lagos after streaming a movie addressing the issues of social violence against children, which he said has become rampant.
He tasked the society towards collective responsibility in ensuring child’s safety.
He also explained how government can use movie to sensitise the society to rise against sexual violence and stand as a protective shield for the adolescent girl child.
The movie titled: “Dina” shed light on menace of sexual violence against young girls and aims to drive awareness and action.
Ukhurebor, who is also a movie producer, said the movie also addresses issues of social violence against children, which is becoming rampant today and charges the society towards collective responsibility in ensuring child’s safety.
“My commitment to child’s right advocacy has always been a surge of passion and sense of responsibility. So when this opportunity presented itself for me to use my movie as a tool to advocate the rights of the child, I didn’t hesitate.
“Clearly, this is a call to action through film; we enjoin media, Non Governmental organisations (NGOs) and other stakeholders to join hand to bring to end sexual violence in our society.
“The screening of Dina is more than just a movie premiere.”
