Star actress and producer, Stephanie Okereke-Linus was recently named ambassador for the Fight Against Violence on Women in Elections (VAWIE).
The actresss, while accepting the honor at the Abuja venue of the event said, "I pledge my full support, my voice and everything within my capacity to make sure that these issues are brought to light and to help educate people about this violence and see ways we can put an end to it so that we can have a better society for ourselves, and future generation."
The award was given by the NDI, and USAID, in recognition of her interest in feminine gender issues, especially in her movies, some of which tackle a host of feminine problems like, domestic abuse, Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF), and so on.
Although the expectant thespian is heavy with her first child, this has not slowed the hard working lady one bit.
