Let this sink in and the earlier we face the truth and call these situations what they are, the better....

@mamacentre1 @chiomakanu @Allii_Bob @abujimoh001 @lamideyyy @chimdyiest @IloriAgain @K_uby @voicetweetz @saadatbibire @YouthsDigest GBV can be eliminated by effectively implementing the provisions of the Child Rights Act 2003 and the VAPP Act 2015. These laws should both also be amended every 5years after assent to address trends in GBV. #StopGBV

@mamacentre1 @chiomakanu @Allii_Bob @abujimoh001 @lamideyyy @chimdyiest @IloriAgain @K_uby @voicetweetz @saadatbibire @YouthsDigest Especially sexual gender abuse in children makes them act out and parents get it wrong by further ignoring the signs as stubbornness #StopGBV

@mamacentre1 @chiomakanu @Allii_Bob @abujimoh001 @lamideyyy @chimdyiest @IloriAgain @K_uby @voicetweetz @saadatbibire @YouthsDigest GBV manifests usually as depression which can so easily be ignored in our society as quietness or stubbornness in children. A very dangerous trend! #StopGBV

@mamacentre1 @chiomakanu @Allii_Bob @abujimoh001 @lamideyyy @chimdyiest @IloriAgain @K_uby @voicetweetz @saadatbibire @YouthsDigest Yes the NHRC and NAPTIP in Nigeria are functional redress institutions supporyed by key functional CSOs. We need more legal and funding support for them to do better #StopGBV

@murtalamoha @mamacentre1 @chiomakanu @Allii_Bob @abujimoh001 @lamideyyy @chimdyiest @IloriAgain @K_uby @voicetweetz @saadatbibire @YouthsDigest I concur! #StopGBV

[Eqy Anazonwu @EqyOne]

@mamacentre1 @chiomakanu @Allii_Bob @abujimoh001 @lamideyyy @chimdyiest @IloriAgain @K_uby @voicetweetz @saadatbibire @YouthsDigest There are lots of negative psychological, physical and emotional impact of GBV on survivors because any form of 'violence' is never positive #StopGBV

#StopGBV Gender Based Violence is a scourge to the Nigerian society and it is being fueled by our stiffling traditions and culture

@WRAPANG @Mairo_Ado Thank you for having me. Enjoy your weekend @WRAPANG @LACVAWNG @ICTAdvocates ##onlinesexualharassment

[WRAPA Nigeria @WRAPANG]

@Mairo_Ado response to the question- as an expert what are the things to do when you notice the red flags, are they ways to stop perpetuators and predators of sexual harassment online technically?

@WRAPANG @Mairo_Ado Strangers are a definite red flag! If you cannot verify that you know someone, do not respond to any communication from them @WRAPANG @LACVAWNG @ICTAdvocates #onlinesexualharassment

[Eqy Anazonwu @EqyOne]

@WRAPANG @Mairo_Ado Yes some victims do need psychological therapy to recover though most would just totally avoid any online communication which is also recommended @WRAPANG @LACVAWNG @ICTAdvocates #onlinesexualharassment
