Playback Nigeria, with the support of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Women Affairs Secretariat, has inaugurated a groundbreaking initiative aimed at tackling violence against women and girls in Nigeria, called "Maru-a-pula."

Playback Nigeria is an art-based organisation dedicated to using interactive arts for psychosocial support, community interaction, enhancement, development and capacity building.

The project, launched on Monday, was attended by secondary school students who demonstrated their understanding of gender-based violence.

Some of the schools in attendance were Olumawu school, White Pearl school, Bankys Private School, Junior Secondary (JSS), Kpaduma, JSS, Zone 6 and Area 1.

Oluwadamilola Abdulai-Apotieri, the chief executive officer of the organisation, emphasized the importance of play for children and adults.
