Gender-based violence (GBV) against women and girls is a grave issue of global concern, with 1 in 3 women experiencing some form of violence in their lifetime. The prevalence of Sexual and Gender-based violence is alarming, with 35% of women worldwide having experienced either physical or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence. Globally, 7% of women have been sexually assaulted by someone other than a partner, and intimate partners commit as many as 38% of murders of women.
In Nigeria, the situation is equally of serious concern, with nearly 3 in 10 women experiencing physical violence and 1 in 4 experiencing sexual violence. A 2018 survey by the National Population Commission revealed the prevalence of various forms of violence against women, including domestic, verbal, and physical abuse, rape and sexual assault, early and forced marriages, incest, female genital Mutilation, acid attacks, and outright killings.
A larger number of GBV perpetrators are men and, Unfortunately, Young men and boys exposed to GBV or experienced maltreatment as children. According to a 2014 UNICEF report, in Subsaharan Africa, approximately 9-20% of boys have experienced sexual violence before the age of 18. For instance, a study in Kenya found that about 9.7% of boys reported experiencing sexual violence in childhood.
This project will build on our previous work, by deepening efforts in collaboration with local stakeholders in Osun, Oyo, Imo, Ebonyi, FCT, Bauchi, Kano, and Cross River by reaching 16,000 people through capacity building and community engagements, addressing deep-rooted patriarchal norms and harmful masculinities to ensure the safety of women and girls in our communities and society. This project will involve young boys and men who have been victims of GBV in its activities, working closely with young women and feminist organizations and specifically responding to lack of knowledge on GBV and skills in advocating for an end to it. It will also provide support through a mentorship mentorship which will allow them to exemplify positive masculinity that ensures the building of healthy relationships with women and girls.
