The sensitization was done during orientation programme for fresh students who were recently enrolled into the higher institutions.The Team, speaking on the Topic: “Prevention of Rape and Sexual Assault on Campus,” stressed that the focus on Fresher Students was key as statistics have shown that they are at a greater risk of being sexually abused on campus due to perceived naivety and an initial lack of safety awareness within campus or red flags they should be wary of.
DSVRT coordinator, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, also used the opportunity to address the criminality of sexual harassment making it clear that students should report lecturers and people in authority in the respective institutions who solicit for sexual favours or make unwelcome sexual advances that affect the students’ educational opportunity or create intimidating, hostile or offensive learning environment.
“The students were also enlightened on the appropriate channels through which reports of such acts can be made.”
