IHRAF PUBLISHES NEW BOOK, LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN AGAINST RAPE AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

 

The International Human Rights Art Festival (IHRAF) has announced the release of a new book titled “Get Consent”, Poetry and Essays on Rape and Sexual Violence against women) edited by Uwaezuoke Angelica .C., Innocent David C and six other members of the Nigerian Society of Campus Writers.

 

 

In a statement released by the Director of IHRAF in Africa, Wole Adedoyin on Tuesday in Ilesa said the major aim of this anthology is to combat violence against women, using writing for sensitization and awareness.  Also, the anthology aimed at changing community attitudes to violence against women.

 

 

“Get Consent” anthology with the ISBN-13:979-8795194387 and ASIN:‎ B09PMBMRKP is also an experimentation challenge given to members of the Nigerian Society of Campus Writers (NSCW), one of the initiatives of the Society of Young Nigerian Writers (SYNW) whose membership cuts across different Universities, Polytechnics, Monotechnics and Colleges of Education. The book is also the first publication of the Nigerian Society of Campus Writers under the leadership of Mr. Innocent David Chinaecherem, the immediate past President of the Society.

 

 
According to the Statement, Rape and sexual violence against women are currently the two major problems militating against the growth and development of youths in Nigeria. These twin vices are like epidemics gaining popularity and causing restlessness and concerns for Nigerian parents and governments, both at the local, state and federal levels. In 2015, UNICEF reported that one in four girls and one in ten boys in Nigeria had experienced sexual violence before the age of 18. According to a survey by Positive Action for Treatment Access, over 31.4 percent of girls reported that their first sexual encounters had been either rape or forced sex of some kind.

 

 

“Hopefully, with this anthology, IHRAF has made her modest input and contributed her quota in the fight against rape and sexual violence against women in Nigeria” Adedoyin said.
