Our in-house session this week was a step down tra Our in-house session this week was a step down training on child protection and safeguarding following the training by @cpnoyostate This is a conversation we can never exhaust because as an organisation, we want to make sure that all our process and procedures are in line with best safeguarding practices and our projects do no harm to the children we work with. One of the new information we will be taking out of here is the difference between the terminologies we use interchangeably for example the difference between child protection and child safeguarding, the difference between rape and defilement and many more. In all, we strive to be better, to do better, to programme better.… It’s our collective responsibility to protect every child; especially the teenagers we regularly reach out to. #childprotection #childsafeguarding #Onelife #Mondays

We have been in different parts of Oyo talking abo We have been in different parts of Oyo talking about #ReproductiveHealth of women and girls but we can tell you one thing for sure! the women in #OyoTown are hungry for this information. It was a pleasure to meet the amazing women of Oyo. They were so receptive and interested in what we had to share about reproductive health. We even had a few women ask if we could get all the women of Oyo together for information sessions, but unfortunately we don't have the resources or time to do that (yet). We believe in the power of a ripple effect, though—if everyone learns something from us and then shares it with three friends, and those three friends do the same, that's how real change happens. For now, we're focusing on connecting youth-friendly #SRHR content with adolescents and young women across Nigeria so that any woman can have access to SRHR information no matter where she lives. We'd love your help spreading the word!
Yes, we know about the ongoing strike keeping univ Yes, we know about the ongoing strike keeping university students at home. What if we tell you part of that time can be put to good use. If you are an #undergraduate #student in the city of #Uyo, then you need to be part of this event scheduled for Friday, 6th May, 2022. We are offering a comprehensive session on key Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights information that young people on our campuses dearly need. It’s intensive. It promises to also be exciting. You will also get an opportunity to network with other students during the group sessions. You will learn about menstrual health management; Sexual and Gender Based Violence, Safe Options for Management of Unintended Pregnancy; and also contraceptives. The seats are filling up fast. We only have seats for 80 female students and 20 male students. For more information and to register, visit — www.bit.ly/uyocampusweysabi No gate fee but you need to register and also show your ID Card. #CampusWeySabi #SRHR #Uyo #6thMay #ASUUStrike

Did you miss us? We missed you too! On Tuesday th Did you miss us? We missed you too! On Tuesday the 12th, we had the opportunity to host a community sensitization with adolescent girls and young women in Ibadan, Oyo State. The event was attended by an interesting mix of artisans, market women, out-of-school girls, senior secondary school girls, and students from University of Ibadan, the Polytechnic Ibadan. We also had an absolute blast hearing final presentations from our groups. The participants came up with some amazing responses to questions of SRHR challenges of adolescent girls and young women in their communities. From the presentations, and we got to learn so much new information from them! We believe that women and girls should have access to reproductive health information at their disposal at every point in time. We think this is important because it helps empower women to make informed choices about their health. #SRHR #CommunitySensitization #ReproductiveHealth #ScalingUpSRHR #girls #women

We are excited to mention the latest in a long lin We are excited to mention the latest in a long line of SRHR projects - #CampusWeySabi Project. With support from Ipas, we seek to meet the SRHR needs of 600 off-campus undergraduate students in #Oyo and #AkwaIbom States. The current level of knowledge on reproductive health and rights of young people is low due to various barriers. As a result, they engage in risky sexual practices which lead to unplanned pregnancies, STIs and other forms of abuse. With this project, we will be empowering young people with information that puts them on the drivers seat as far as their sexual and reproductive health is concerned. We are excited about the start off with the training of #PPMVs close to the 6 campuses we will be reaching. #Choices #ReproductiveHealth #Campus #SRHR #OyoState #AkwaIbom #ASUUStrike 🙄
Just a reminder that we love Ife! She's just fini Just a reminder that we love Ife! She's just finished her internship with us, and we're so sad to see her go. She was sent to us from @theiredefoundation and we have had the pleasure of working with her, she's just a really great person. But what's even better is that she doesn't let being a person living with disability stop her from doing anything if you know Ife then you know what we are talking about... she would knock on every table until she is given a task to do😂. Sometimes she is made fun of and laughs about it, sometimes she just gets back up and keeps going— and if you ask us, the world could use more Ifes. We'll miss you around the office, Ife! Good luck in all your future endeavors. #Internship #albinism #TeamWork
Week 10 of our radio series, You Matter in this Ma Week 10 of our radio series, You Matter in this Matter' is on Splash 105.5 FM! This week we'll be talking about inclusive budgeting—how it gives citizens real control over where a budget is spent, and why that matters. Inclusive budgeting means that citizens—notwithstanding their social status—should be involved in how the government plans and spends their money. It ensures that a budget reflects the strength, needs, and aspirations of the population, bringing about effectiveness in governance. Join the conversation on @splashfm1055 at 11 am, and lend your voice to how we can make government more effective! #EndSars #Youmatter #inclusiveness #inclusivegovernance #YouMatterinthismatter
We live in a society where parents do not give app We live in a society where parents do not give appropriate sexuality information to their children due to cultural norms. This causes young people to make uninformed decisions that could jeopardize their lives. We believe that every adolescent is entitled to age-appropriate sexuality information which will enable them to make informed decisions about their lives. The training they undergo provides them relevant information enough to educate their peers or near peers in cohort sessions. In these sessions, the girls are free to express themselves and receive answers to pressing questions that they would otherwise not be able to ask their parents or guardians. Our goal is to make sure as many girls have appropriate information on their sexual rights which will cause a ripple effect among their peers and near peers. #sexualityeducation #reproductivehealth #SRHR #adolescentreproductivehealth #cohorts
The climate of FGM in Nigeria and the states is dy The climate of FGM in Nigeria and the states is dynamic considering various laws that exist — the VAPP Act, the Child Rights Act, the VAPP Act, the Oyo State Violence Against Women Law, and more recently the Oyo State VAPP Law which just got assented recently in March 2022. These legal instruments have provisions for different penalties for perpetrators for Female Genital Mutilation. This makes prosecution of perpetrators of FGM a choice of which law to reference when there is a case of Female Genital Mutilation. #OnelifeInitiative partnered with Youth Network for Community and Sustainable Development to critically assess the FGM climate in Nigeria, looking at the VAPP Act Implementation Stock taking. The laws may need to be synchronised across board so that law makers can effectively implement it without drawbacks while not drawing back on massive enlightenment of the public on what the law says. #FGM #VAPPLaw #EndFGM #EndFGMLaws
The reality where young people prefer to discuss i The reality where young people prefer to discuss issues especially as relating to puberty and their sexual and reproductive health and rights with friends has to guide our frameworks in reaching them. For us, young people especially girls and young women are a priority and we have taken the step to train their peers who will provide appropriate and adequate information on SRHR to other girls in their classrooms, hostels and their immediate communities. The effect of this chain is something we look forward to and are hopeful that it will be a step closer to having a society where all women and girls have a girl in their squad or peer group who has the right information or access to resources to attend to their SRHR needs. #SRHR #ReproductiveRights #Cohorts #Adolescents
