 And a non-governmental organization has taken advocacy and sexual harassment and how to prevent and respond to it in the campus. To this end, it has strained 50 female students from the University of Abuja on the prevention and response mechanisms for addressing cases whenever they occur. Plus, the Immanuel Ihejena report is presented from our studio. This is what we're talking about being brave. Sexual harassment is a global issue that has been addressed by governments and non-governmental organizations and civil society organizations. In Nigeria, legislation has been passed to reduce the prevalence of sexual harassment in various settings, including work, homes, schools, and tertiary institutions. However, an NGO is working to end these by sensitizing and training 50 female students at the University of Abuja. The campaign, titled Amplifier Female Student Voices, is now being held at the University campus. We have a voice as female students and as females generally. So all what we need to do is to amplify the voices. We need to be heard. The culture of silence is actually prevalent and that's why there's low reportage on sexual harassment. Or sometimes you look at it, people do not even know that what is happening to them is actually sexual harassment. So Gender and Mobile Initiative has been strengthening the capacity of students for them to know. So we're looking at, we've trained them on different types of courses, like the campus organizing. We've also trained them on, of course, the earlier when I said the bystander intervention and then the first state social support. We are seriously pushing for the passage by the presidency of the sexual harassment prohibition in tertiary institutions bill. We believe that bill is very vital to safeguarding environments of learning and to serve as that legal framework for institutions to look up to when it comes to addressing cases of sexual harassment. At the institutional level, we also have a national policy still on sexual harassment prohibition which we've designed in collaboration with the independent Coral Practices Commission, the ITPC for short. And we're looking to disseminate that policy. That policy has also been endorsed by the Ministry of Education and we're looking forward to disseminating that policy and ensuring that it's implemented in environments of learning. Some of the students share their experiences as they give reasons why sexual harassment still persists in institutions and why the training has been of great help to students but also calling for more awareness programs. They call them lecturer boys. Those ones that assist the lecturers to mark, they'll tell you, I have the right to mark your results so I can remove mark from you but you can even enter exam hall and touch you, do whatever they want and people are seeing but they can't do anything because they are scared of them and they don't know what to do so because of that I as a person I felt like there's a need to stop all these kind of things and even if they should report to the authorities there are some people that are friends to those lecturers, those perpetrators that are harassing the students, there are some people that are part of them that they can easily report and like this also students is reporting you to the management so because of that they can easily threaten the students with their results and the manifest function of every student that is the primary assignment is to have a good grade, graduate with a good CGPA. This initiative is one as such that it is like a blanket that has come to cover persons that have been sexually harassed. It comes to let people know that if you are sexually harassed you have a voice you should speak up you shouldn't keep quiet keeping quiet to give room for the perpetrators to begin to do more. Campus ambassadors receive certificates of participation enabling them to continue the campaign I institutions were encouraged to implement programs promoting student sensitization and reporting of sexual harassment ensuring perpetrators are caught and punished.
