INCIDENCE THAT OCCUR TO BOTH GENDER, BOTH IS BEING ADDRESSED MOSTLY IN GIRLS.
Are you a rape victim? Do you know anyone who have been involve in a rape case? How do you educate kid or adult on ways in preventing rape case?
Have heard and read several news report on rape cases being told, we have various ways in which people share their experience and perception. This night while seeing the repeat of your view programme being broadcast on the television set, the hot topic for today was #No to rape in Lagos there was a specialist on set, question were being asked, but what really caught my attention was the caller that called in and complain about people being silent on a boy being the victim of rape, and i remember the book i read titled “Fifty shades of grey” in the book the boy child was the victim of the rape case, the rapist was is adopted mother friend and he was silent about it, she assaulted him continuously till he grew up which affected him a lot, he started seeing ladies as sex object he has a specification, most writers and motivators always talk about the girl child being the victim of a rape incidence, i would like to remind us that virtually both gender are victim of rape, and it should be treated properly no matter the gender.
A victim of a rape case owns the story, they should be allow to share it whenever they feel like, they should be treated equally like others, you should not stay with them or help them because you pity them having heard their story, you should stay with them because you love them and want to be with them no matter the situation, just like a victim of HIV/ AIDS.
Their is this joke that is being cracked mostly by adult, calling young kids their wife or their husband, those little words they hear, things they see get to them because they are still young, they have little or no knowledge on how to be sure it is a joke or not, this make them to start thinking in line with it, growing up with the mentality that the person would have them as a partner, or the person using that as an avenue on the child.
I remember during my postgraduate programme, there was an interactive section and our lecture shared a story of how his little daughter wrapped herself with towel, because the father entered her room, he informed us that he had to confront his wife to find out what it was all about, which was confirmed that she learnt it from school.
Educating kids on issue of rape, sexual assault or knowing their body part should not be the work of the teachers alone, it should be imbibe in them from home. Some kids have the attitude of wanting to know everything and practising them, this are the things that need to be observe both at home and in school environment.
I understand that parents need to educate kids of both gender from tender age like 2 years upward about their body part, who should touch them at certain area, who should not, if they are not satisfied they are allowed to voice out, i believe that if a child is being educated properly and they are not cut off when they are trying to report to their parent, they would be free to share the issue and not scared from intimidation or stigmatization.
Majority of the reported rape cases being reported occur mostly with people close to the victim, such as uncle, aunt, cousin, father, neighbour and so on.
Parents should pay attention to their kids, they should know and study their kids well enough to tell when everything is alright with them, their attitude about opposite sex or a particular person around them should say it all.
