 The Lagos State Government is continuing with its campaign against all forms of gender-based violence and sexual harassment. Addressing residents of Iberjuleki, the Supervisor of Women Affairs and Poverty, Alleviation, Abyssal Aziz, called on parents to report cases, especially against children. Plus, TV News correspondent Lovie Kokoyeduko has more in this next report. Gathered in this hall are residents of Iberjuleki area of Lagos State. They have been brought together by the State's Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, DSVA, to be sensitized against all forms of abuse and violence in their community. Addoned with crested polo shirts with the inscription, it's on us to end sexual and domestic violence. Participants paid wrapped attention as officials from the DSVA took time out to educate them. Move from the face of blaming the survivors and move to the act of ensuring that the perpetrators themselves get arrested and the necessary justice is served. That's the only way the community as a whole can help the survivors because if the community keeps on abhorring the perpetrator, keeps on defending the perpetrator, then the survivors will just be languishing in pain. There is nothing embarrassing if you are sexually abused or your daughter or your son is being sexually abused. You need to speak out. You shouldn't be the one to be ashamed. It is the perpetrator that ought to be ashamed of his bad behavior. So they shouldn't be ashamed to tell their story. They shouldn't be ashamed to let people know what has happened so that perpetrators can be brought to the book and we can put an end to these vices. The session was interactive. Some parents called for stiffer penalties against sexual offenders to serve as deterrents. We just want the government to take this as a serious case with serious measure of punishment. Anyone or anybody found guilty should be punished accordingly. Even that punishment should not be a jail term if possible dealt penalty because they were destroying the future of these children and some of these things are called a stigma that can never be cleared in their life. These children, they get exposed through all these phones that they look into and the kind of pairs of friends that they have too. I think the parents should be able to know the kind of friends their children must suit so they can be able to monitor them. They also identify social stigma as one of the factors preventing a victim from coming forward to seek justice. This is attained in the series of grassroots enlightenment campaign by the DSVA which is aimed at getting the buying of all to end the vice. Love you Kukui Yadukum. Plus TV news.
