Speak Up Against Sexual Violence – Jaji Tasks Women

The Secretary to the Lagos State Government, Mrs. Folashade Jaji has charged women to speak out against any form of violence and abuse rather than being ashamed and emotionally troubled for the rest of their lives.

She said the era of keeping quiet when raped or abused has been overtaken with awareness around the world, adding that many victims are now reporting to the appropriate authorities resulting in the arrest and prosecution of perpetrators.

Jaji enjoined young girls and ladies to be careful in celebrating Valentine’s Day by not getting carried away with the opposite sex in order to avoid sexual harassment or rape.
