MEN SPEAK UP
Children have continued to remain vulnerable to sexual violence with incidents occurring where they should be safest including in, to and from school and by those who should care for them. Statistics remain alarmingly high, with over 9 million children in Nigeria under the age of 18 years being exposed to sexual violence every year. This project seeks to “catch them young” by mobilizing and training adolescent school boys as Advocates to break the silence of sexual violence against boys and advocate against sexual violence of children generally.
