ONE DAY PEER TRAINING WORKSHOP ON GENDERBASED VIOLENCE FEBRUARY 2010

The Peer Training Programme was organizes to address the issue of Girl-child development at the same time seek to reduce incidence of Violence and Discrimination that may impede the development of the Girl-child. The programme also followed with proper sensitization on Gender Based Violence and also the review to the training manual for the youth in school. The manual will assist the counselor of each school effectively to facilitate the Anti Violence Clubs during their weekly meeting.

 The Anti Violence Club Members were also sensitized on the Child Right Law that was recently signed by Lagos State Government.  The strength of development of any nation is a sole function of the quality of its youth. Attendances are about 150 students and teachers.

 The objective of the Peer Training Workshop is to reduce the high rate of violence incident against the Girl-child and also to inaugurate Antiviolence Clubs in school.

 It also allows for the opportunity to discuss problems and experience of abuse and violence. Through the project, we were able to raise public awareness on the issues of Violence Against Women and Girls. It also created a tool for advocacy, and served as a platform to lobby for zero tolerance on all forms of violence.
