 Also in Lagos, the State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has taken its sensitization program to the Lagos Island local government area, where they charged the victims and community members to speak up against the menace. The program, which brought together men and women alike, sought to change the narrative of issues and loss of lives associated with the Scourge. The community engagement officer for the group, Dami Larry Adelsi, urged the community not to shoot abusers while also encouraging victims to get the needed help. The 11th LGA that we're going to, and the message is simple and the cost is simple that we want to take the services that are available to the people at the grassroot. Cases of domestic violence, sexual violence, child abuse, because we have realized that a lot of people are going through these issues, but they do not know what to do and where to go to. I would say that what our advocacy has done is that it has opened room for people to be confident enough to come and report. So of it true, I would say emphatically that we have received increased number of reportage, meaning that people are getting to be aware the more. And of course that's the goal, that people get to know and know that this act is a crime and make reports to that effect. Meanwhile one of the facilitators at the program said the prevalence of sexual and gender-based violence is heightened by poverty, among all the reasons others corroborated his view. One of the conjugal causes and I have to emphasize there is the poverty. The poverty in the land has given rise to a lot of sexual and gender-based violence. You have people who the poor families are the ones that usually give birth to the most children. So when they give birth to these most children, they can't even cater or monitor most of these children. And in addition to that, when there's poverty in the land and there's nothing to eat, everybody is what? Angry. That anger is usually meted on the mother and the children. So if a father cannot financially cater for the family, there's physical violence and at the same time it will lead to sexual violence because it starts to rape the wife. The first thing to do is to actually sensitize people. To sensitize people. They need to speak up. They need to see something, say something and do something. You must end sexual and gender-based violence. It's not only women. At times women rape men too. But what we notice much is charity begins at home. Most of our children, they are lack of knowledge. They are working class. You've been at work. When your child closes at school, he or she will go back to home. Now you must have somebody at that house that will be monitoring them for you. Hello my dear, please let come back. His eyes shut back. So these children will know that they cannot close from school and go to another place because they have somebody that is watching them. You must not leave your child. No matter how close the person is to you. No matter the connection between you as family or anything, you must not love a girl child to a man. No matter what age. We have different type of people. There are some good-looms, real boys. They can go and make or notice something early in the morning at any time. Because when they finish their cannabis whatever, they don't know who is who again. As the community leaders, we consider telling them in our various meetings, both CDA, both division and everywhere. From there I think something better. Don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates.
