In recent times, the world has begun to embrace the idea of equal rights for same sex couples and other gender minorities. However in Nigeria, the opposite is the case.

An institute in Enugu is set to embark on a 2 day March to protest against what it terms as “societal vices.”

The International Bio-Research Institute based in Enugu is to hold a 2-day international seminar and street march and the programme will focus on issues such as kidnapping, same-sex marriage, child and mother trafficking, mercy killing, among others.

Reports say the event, which holds August 29 and 30, 2013, will take place at the Odumegwu Ojukwu Auditorium of the Institute, at Ugwuogo-Nike, Enugu state.

The event, with the theme “Family and the Beginning of Life Issues in Africa” is being organised by the Institute in collaboration with Steadfast Onlus Foundation, Italy.

The climax of the event will be a street march on the 30th of August, 2013.
