Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of the "Spot It" advertisement aired on Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC) on the management of gender-based violence (GBV) among residents of Osogbo Local Government, Osun State. Gender-based violence remains a critical social issue that affects individuals and communities, with significant implications for public health, safety, and social cohesion. The "Spot It" advertisement is designed to raise awareness about GBV, promote reporting mechanisms, and encourage community involvement in prevention and management efforts. Employing a quantitative approach, this research will employ surveys to gather data from a sample of residents in Osogbo. The study aims to assess the level of awareness generated by the advertisement, evaluate changes in attitudes toward GBV, and identify the extent to which it has influenced reporting behaviors and community engagement in GBV management. Findings will reveal if "Spot It" advertisement significantly increased awareness of GBV and encourages proactive responses among community members. Also, if barriers to reporting and cultural stigmas persists, limiting the full impact of the campaign.
