Awakening Program will this November focus on Sexual Violence and Rape Culture in South East Nigeria
.
.
. According to the 2008 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey, an estimated 1 in every 4 women in Nigeria will experience violence in her lifetime.


Between 2014 and 2019, the Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Enugu recorded 971 cases of sexual violence in Enugu, Nigeria out of which 96% were perpetrated on females. Rape culture happens when sexual violence against women is normalized and excused in the media and culture.


Behaviors commonly associated with rape culture include; victim blaming, slut-shaming, sexual objectification, trivializing rape, denial of widespread rape, refusing to acknowledge the harm caused by sexual violence, or a combination of these.


Join us this Month as we discus issues on Sexual Violence and Rape Culture in South East Nigeria.
