Awosanya facilitated and influenced the Nigerian socio-political space from 2014 till date through various advocacies. The most popular among them is #EndSARS, which focuses on the reformation of the criminal justice system via legislative reforms and a scrap of the rogue arm of the police (SARS) that is currently threatening the sovereignty of the country and the general sanctity of our society.

In the aftermath of the #EndSARS protest in Nigeria, Awosanya was listed as a member of the Lagos State Judiciary Panel of Inquiry by the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on police brutality in Lagos State.
