The founder, WARIF, Dr. Kemi DaSilva Ibru, at the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signing ceremony, in Lagos, said one in four females experience sexual violence in childhood with approximately 70 per cent reporting more than one incident of sexual violence.
In addressing the needs of a survivor, WARIF looks at major aspects, like her medical needs; counseling;welfare, which could come in form of housing, finance and legal aid.
“When you look at the survivor and her needs, the major aspect beyond this medical attention is justice. When a survivor is attacked, when she’s physically violated, when she’s emotionally violated, she wants justice. She wants the person that’s perpetrating this act to be held accountable.
