@winexviv Thank you for this great commitment

[DefenderGirls ™ @Defendergirls]

Girls don't become powerful by chance. They become powerful when they know who they are, grow their minds through education, and develop skills that prepare them for life.

Empowered girls don't just change their own lives, they transform communities, and shape generations.

Boys as much as girls need to learn that their body belongs to them, and they have the responsibility to defend & protect it.Although a girl child is more vulnerable to CSA, a boy child is not exonerated. Hence the need for Body-safety awareness. Prevention is better than healing

I had a great time today celebrating International Girl-Day Child with girls in primary and secondary schools. It was a mutual learning experience.

Our Theme was:
Empowering Girls to Defend and Lead.
It was a time for our girls to reflect on their strengths & potential.

A girl who understands her worth walks with purpose. She knows her body is her own, a reflection of strength and courage. She doesn’t seek approval; she embraces her uniqueness, choosing self-respect over fleeting acceptance.

Teachers can also play a vital role in preventing child sexual abuse by fostering healthy relationships with students, teaching about how to recognize unsafe situations, and being trusted adults who listen and support without prejudice.

Child sexual abuse can go right where you live and never know it. Many victims can't recognize what is happening to them so they keep mute.

How can we help kids speak up against sexual abuse:

Teach them how to recognize sexual abuse
Encourage them to share any discomfort.

@AyoShonaiya @DavidHundeyin Out of social media came the internet. The TV, radio, and newspapers are all social media, and they sure existed before the internet.

A potentially unsafe situation can be nib in the bud when there is trust. How to build trust with children:

Listen without judgment, validate their feelings, and spend quality time together. Trust is the foundation for open communication.
