With this in mind, Lady Biba deemed Busola Dakolo fit to be the perfect muse and epitome of the Lady in Power. The brand recognises her strength, her bravery, her courage, her influence and most importantly the power and the voice she has given to all women to Own Their Story.
According to the brand:
“So much more than a New Collection, The Lady In Power Campaign is a worthy Cause and to this end, we have committed to giving 10% of revenue of sales of the Busola Dress in December 2019 to support the Stand to End Rape Cause.
Stand to End Rape Initiative (STER) is a youth-led organization achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5 – Gender Equality – in Nigeria by providing psychosocial, legal and medical support to survivors and victims of sexual and gender-based violence; and working with our communities and national institutions to create programs and policies to prevent and respond to issues of sexual and gender-based violence in Nigeria.”
