We are thrilled to share our recent collaboration with the Centre for Adolescent Health and Social Development (CAHSD), a dedicated Nigerian organisation committed to enhancing the wellbeing of adolescents through targeted interventions and advocacy. In light of the removal of sex education from the Basic Education Curriculum in Nigeria, there has been significant concern regarding its impact on young people's sexual health. To address this, our team conducted a comprehensive literature review on the effects of sex education on young people's sexual health in Nigeria and comparable regions. We summarised our findings in a detailed report, which ultimately supported the development of a policy brief aimed at advocating for the reinstatement of sex education in the curriculum. We are proud to work on projects like these, free-of-charge, that allow us to utilise our expertise to support and empower charities and non-profit organisations. If your non-profit could benefit from scientific support, please contact Lucy Eddowes for more information. #probono #givingback #charity #nonprofit #adolescenthealth #sexeducation #WorldSexualHealthDay #WSHD

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Throughout the month, non-profits will shed light on what human trafficking is and how it has harmed so many. To honor the non-profits who are doing this daily work with survivors, we will share about a new non-profit dedicated to helping survivors every week this month. This week, it is MaleSurvivor. MaleSurvivor is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, public benefit organization committed to preventing, healing, and eliminating all forms of sexual victimization of boys and men through support, treatment, research, education, advocacy, and activism. Men and boys are often an unrecognized population that are trafficked, through both labor and sex trafficking, as well as child sexual exploitation. They need and deserve places to heal and by building awareness, we can help prevent additional harm from being done. MaleSurvivor's website is below if you would like to learn more or watch any of their educational videos. https://malesurvivor.org/

Question: What is my gender? Answer: Male. Question: How do you know? Answer: Because you have a Penis! 😂😂😂😂. You see, speaking to girls is interesting ! Just be prepared for anything! To make impact, there has to be a strategic shift in mental and self awareness. Indeed we all run the world in our various capacities! Our visit to one of the secondary school in a quest to gather data by sharing questionnaires on menstrual hygiene and sex education we had this amazing conversation! In the survey, it was striking that 60% of girls in the room had neither had an idea on menstrual hygiene and a talk on sex education. This data has given us feedback on areas we should tailor our facilitation approach to achieve our goal: To Empower the Girl 👧 We intend to intervene in this gap by providing Menstrual Pads and sensitization programs on sex education across five schools in Ogun state. To make this a reality, we need 3000 pads! And any donations will go a long way to help these girls in low income communities learn more about themselves, how to navigate these waters when the time comes, successfully complete their studies with a positive and self aware mindset. Kindly send your donations to; Bank Name: Samuel Ubong Account Details : 8166315190 Bank: PalmPay. Thank you. #suffle #intervention #menstruation #menstrualhygiene #fundraising #nonprofit #lowincomecommunities #girlchildempowerment #gender !

📈 Gender-based #violence (GBV) has skyrocketed since the escalation of the war in Ukraine, with girls and young women increasingly exposed to intimate partner violence, sexual violence, harmful online content and sexual exploitation and abuse. This unfolding #emergency remains grossly overlooked by donors and the international community. At ‼️only 4% funded‼️, #GBV is the most underfunded sector across the Ukraine response. More #funding for GBV prevention and support is urgently needed – without it, there is a huge risk of normalising violence and harmful #gender norms for generations to come. ✊ Help us fight against gender-based violence! ❤️ #DONATE NOW: https://buff.ly/48tvNj7
