The Get Naked Campaign set to kick off Friday 16th of October, according to the Founder of the initiative, Sheifunmi Nomia Yusuf.
According to her, this year's edition of the initiative promises to be different, exciting and life changing.
Since its inception in 2012, the various editions of the ‘Get Naked’ campaign has had faces/headliners such as Ehiz VJ, Tee A, Denrele Edun, Taofick Okoya, Dammy Krane, Ashionye, Linda Ejiofor, Lilian Esoro, Bassey Ikpi, Shola Animashaun, Tonye Garrick, VJ Adams and many more.
This
year's edition is focusing on giving back to the society through
outreach and by spreading messages of Love, Hope & Care. It is for
this reason this year's edition is tagged #WECARE.
According
to Sheifunmi, "this theme was chosen to bridge the gap in communication
and action towards managing the effects of stigmatization and what
better way to do this than to get everyone involved in the project
showing how and why they care".
This
initiative is primarily designed to tackle the social and psychological
stigma associated to the HIV Virus, AIDS disease as well as mental
health disorders like Depression, PTSD, Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, OCD,
Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder among others.
The
campaign urges and seeks notable faces that the youths can identify
with, entertainment icons and influentials to lend their voice, educate
youths, encourage safe sex, disclosure and draw international attention
to these diseases through innovative and interactive methods dispersed
through the media. The one month long campaign is set to kick off 16th of October to 8th of November.
