MOHII VISITED MERCY HIGH SCHOOL ALETO ELEME, DURING THE INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE GIRL CHILD. WE WERE ABLE TO ATTEND TO THE GIRL CHILD PERSONALLY AND LISTENED TO THEIR HORRIBLE STORIES AS IT AFFECTS THE GIRL CHILD IN GENDER VIOLENCE AND TEENAGE SEX AND SEXUALITY. THESE QUESTIONS/ WORRIES NEEDED URGENT CLARIFICATION SUCH AS, “IS IT WRONG HAVING SEX WITH MY FATHER” ETC. WE THANK GOD, WE WERE ABLE TO GUIDE AND ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT AND PROPER COUNSELLING BY WELL-SEASONED, GOD FEARING MOHIITES ACCORDING TO BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES.
THIS EXCLUSION, THIS DISCRIMINATION AND THIS VIOLENCE BASED ON GENDER, IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES WE FACE IN ADVANCING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN OUR SOCIETY. HOWEVER, WE WERE ABLE TO GUIDE THE CHILDREN TO ALWAYS SAY:

NO TO ALL FORMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.
NO TO INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE,
NO TO EARLY AND FORCEFUL MARRIAGE,
NO TO CRIMES COMMITTED IN THE NAME OF HONOUR OR PASSION,
NO TO FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION,
NO TO FEMICIDE,
NO TO SEXUAL VIOLENCE,
NO TO SEXUAL HARASSMENT, AND
NO TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN CONFLICT SITUATIONS.

IF WE ALL STAND OUT AND CONTINUE TO SAY NO! NO! NO! THE WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE FOR THE GIRL CHILD.
