Most times, gender-based violence (GBV) doesn’t begin with something obvious. It shows up in small, ignored signs, things people see but don’t always act on. That’s why this intervention matters.

This week, In Kaduna, CLEEN Foundation convened a two-day technical session

“You are too sensitive.”
“Without me, you’re nothing.”
“No one else will want you.”

These are not just words, they are emotional abuse. A silent violence that leaves no physical scars but deeply wounds the mind, especially for women and girls.

Repeated stress of child abuse, neglect and domestic violence can have real, tangible effects on the development of the brain. This unfolds across a lifetime, to the point high levels of trauma are triple the risk for heart disease and lung cancer. #HearMeToo #SurvivorCulture

Everyone has a role to play in preventing sexual assault. We can all be active bystanders at any point. Every day events and potentially unsafe situations unfold around us and we must take action in any way we can.

If you have experienced or witnessed any acts of violence against a woman or girl, it must be STOPPED. If so, kindly report the incident to an appropriate authority.

There are insufficient data on gender abuse in Nigeria. This is primarily due to the stigma and si­lence surrounding it, cutting across all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. CLEEN is joining the worthy advocacy for a change ! #UNiTE #16DaysofActivism2022 #herstory
