According to her, home is the first place where a child receives moral training.
“Mothers are the first teachers and must train, discipline and bring up children very well, encouraging them to dress decently to avoid exposing themselves to danger – rape.
“Sexual molestation is getting too much and happening to both girls and boys.
“Sometimes, revealing dressing that exposes sensitive parts gives them away to the perpetrators.
“The Quran advises us to train a child in the way he should go, so that when he is old, he will not depart from it,” she said.
According to her, some people commit rape in order to feel big or get promotion in a cult, and they can go the extra mile to kill their victims to cover up the track.
Olanrewaju added that some men would lack self-control after seeing any sensitive part of a woman or even girl.
‘”I admire decent dressings and I do encourage our girls child to be modest in their dressing, even the male children too, ” she said.
She called on religious organisations to emphasise decent dressing and condemn rape through preachings, youth programmes and seminars.
“Schools should play major roles in fighting rape. Sex education and penalty for rapists should be in the school curriculum,” she said.
She also advised parents to promote effective communication with their children to enable the children to relate experiences to them.
“Parents should create a friendly relationship so that their children can let them know their challenges including threats from rapists.
