Sexual abuse: TIQ Image launches shield vision

A Non- Governmental Organisation, TIQ IMAGE,  in conjunction with “Amber alert for social justice and ( Network of  University Legal Aid Institution (NULAI) has launched a project called Shield Vision which is aimed at addressing the rampant and prevailing abuse and identity crisis that befall the “Girl- Child” in the 21st century.

The Shield Vision was launched on October 1, 2016   at the National Stadium Surulere, Lagos, with over 300 girls represented their schools.

At the events the participants were taught; bonds and boundaries, Shield acts, my mind – my image session, how to identify/know an abuser and pant rules.

These are lesson taught with procedures and modules outside the box of the regular school curriculum as it was an exclusive learning programme for the girl-child.

In the course of interaction, some of these girls linked “the abusers” to their worst cartoon characters. They named Romeo, Luna girl, night Ninja (From PJ Mask), Shedreck and Princess Ivy in Sofia the first and so on.

The organisers disclosed that the essence of linking these cartoon protagonists to the abuser was to make the children realise that they are the bad people in our real lives and the message was well taken by them.
