Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV)

The team recently visited Lagos Baptist Senior Secondary School to address the issue of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and its effects on the mental health of students. The team highlighted the various effects of SGBV, such as depression, suicidal thoughts, withdrawal syndrome, low self-esteem, sexual addiction, sexism, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and how they can ultimately affect mental health. The students were educated on the importance of identifying and reporting cases of SGBV to prevent its effects on their mental health.
