According to her, “football being a global game that attracts huge number of people together, we feel the stadium is the right place to take the fight against kicking out violence against women to, and we are calling on all Nigerians, to join us in this fight.

“That is why we decided to organize this novelty match with the great Rangers Inter. FC of Enugu, with a view to spreading the kick out violence against women message.”

Ezeilo, who spoke through the organization’s program manager, Barr. Chukwudi Ojielo, had called on all and sundry including sportsmen and women to join hands with it and other relevant agencies in fighting against violence in Nigeria.
