A year definitely did come by so fast 🤍❤️ Thank you @londonschoolofeconomics @lsegender for making me feel a #partoflse For every educational step, if you’ve been here for long you know your girl is going to do a shoot regardless. I wanted to make this a testimony post, but I’m moved to do that with shots from school instead.

Intimate partner vi*lenc* rates in sub Saharan Africa is about 55% and averagely 1 in 4 women and girls 15 years upwards ever partnered have experienced it. And 1 in 3 women have experienced some form of physical/se**al abuse in their life time. These numbers aren’t just statistics, they’re real people and we at @on.this.side are prepared to keep putting this information out there, educate people to speak up, protect themselves and their families, identify signs, defend themselves and just support survivors. Thank you @abcnewsgh_ for the opportunity to educate the public on se**al abuse #womeninleadership #sgbv #onthissidesaah #endsgbv #supportsurvivors

Everytime ab*se is spoken about, men claim to not be the ones, they claim to not know any abusers in their life! And when you show them, they’ll just not say anything. A sad reality that people will use their supposed affluence and their proximity to women to abuse them. Drugging women is sickening, recording them & sharing without their consent is sickening! And it’s interesting to know that, this isn’t the case of one person but of many and so many other cases are never even reported. And in the heat of finding out this sad occurrence, you’ll realise that from so many years ago, a person with huge influence in the same space was publicly proclaiming they “grape” people, Their desire to “grape” people among others. Beyond disappointing! In a time like this, you’ll expect that people in the space ranging from socialites, to celebrities and close associates of the offenders will condemn the act; even if they don’t mean it as a sign of solidarity or some concern. But no! They will defend it with some of the craziest of analogies and comments like “oh that’s impossible”, “this is a set up” etc. And people will rather blame the victims rather than call out the abuser! No consideration for the trauma the victim has experienced whatsoever. The sickening audacity for people to blame victims of se**ual abuse! And as a survivor of se**al abuse, and a co-founder of a se*ual ab*se awareness & survivor support organisation, I stand with the survivors And @on.this.side pledges to keep doing its work. se**al ab*se is not ok! #supportsurvivors #endsgbv #womeninleadership #sexualabuse #onthissidesaah

Overwhelmed….Yes I am! Happy and fulfilled… Yes I am! Tired and Angry… Yes I am! Sad and Broken… Yes I am! But all these emotions come together to get the work done. Waking up everyday knowing your mere existence is an inspiration and the reason someone believes there’s hope or they could be any better is why we don’t stop.
