As Project Alert a non-governmental women’s rights organisation and an observer in the University of Calabar (UNICAL) Sexual Harassment Probe Panel continues to monitor the outcome of both the National NBA and university panels set up to investigate the sex-for-grades allegations by students of the Faculty of Law, against their former Dean, Prof Cyril Ndifon, the organisation has seized the opportunity to also step up its engagements with secondary schools and tertiary institutions in Cross-River and Akwa-Ibom states on the issue of sexual violence.
Commencing this week for the next two weeks, under their Schools Based Advocacy Project, with support from the African Women Development Fund, Accra-Ghana, Project Alert will be going into selected secondary schools and tertiary institutions in both states.
The project is referred to as the KASA PROJECT. Kasa in Ghanian language means “Speak Out”.
We started today with two (2) secondary schools in Akwa-Ibom. They are Cardinal Ekandem secondary school and Adiahaobong Secondary School. We are implementing this project in partnership with the Akwa-Ibom Gender Based Violence Management Committee & Girls Power Initiative. A total of ten (10) institutions will be visited in both states.
