Millennium Fellowship Project: Educate To Curb

The "Educate To Curb" project is an initiative aimed at contributing to break the chain of sexual assault and end the rape culture in Nigerian communities by educating teenagers on consent.
Why teenagers?
Teenagers are inqusitive people and if not fed with the right knowledge would be misled.
The adolescent years are the formative years of a person, you live with the knowledge of your formative years and these knowledge most likely would be your life long philosophy, we believe that if these Teenagers are properly taught about consent, boundaries and body autonomy would grow to understand the ask before proceeding, no means no and private space principles
What then is the correlation between consent and sexual assault?
Sexual assault is any sexual activity you do not or cannot give "consent" to. Our project seeks to equip teenagers (both male and female) with the knowledge and resources needed to create boundaries, understand consent and not be future perpetrators .
we aim to break sexual assault chains and end rape culture in our communities so the future generations would be safe.
