Background of the Study
Gender equality is a cornerstone for sustainable development, but achieving it remains a challenge in many parts of the world, including Nigeria. In regions such as Damboa Local Government Area (LGA) in Borno State, traditional beliefs, cultural practices, and systemic barriers perpetuate gender disparities. Advertising has become a critical tool in advocating for gender equality, using various media platforms to challenge stereotypes, promote inclusive narratives, and foster behavioral change.
Effective advertising campaigns, especially those leveraging local languages and culturally sensitive messaging, have demonstrated the potential to reshape societal perceptions of gender roles. According to Eze and Musa (2023), advertisements that depict empowered female figures or highlight shared responsibilities between men and women can influence public attitudes and drive progressive change. This study explores the effectiveness of advertising in promoting gender equality in Damboa LGA, focusing on its impact on awareness, attitudes, and behavioral change within the community.

1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite global and national efforts to promote gender equality, deeply entrenched cultural norms and limited awareness hinder progress in areas like Damboa LGA. While advertising is recognized as a powerful tool for advocacy, its application in promoting gender equality in such communities often faces challenges, including resistance from conservative groups, limited reach, and lack of tailored messaging.
Studies by Ibrahim et al. (2024) show that poorly crafted advertisements can inadvertently reinforce stereotypes or fail to resonate with the target audience. This study seeks to address the gap by evaluating the effectiveness of advertising campaigns aimed at promoting gender equality in Damboa LGA, providing insights for more impactful interventions.

The findings offer practical recommendations for designing impactful campaigns that resonate with local communities while addressing cultural sensitivities. It also provides a framework for policymakers and non-governmental organizations seeking to leverage media for gender equality advocacy in similar contexts.
