A non-governmental organisation, Hacey Health Initiative, has empowered 134 teenage girls between ages 14 to 19 with knowledge on their sexual health and rights.

The organisation carried out the empowerment at a five-day project it organised through the Platform for Amplifying the Voice and Empowerment of Girls held at Ikorodu and Ibeju-Lekki local council areas of Lagos State.

“This programme has brought together over 100 girls in Ibeju Lekki and Ikorodu local council areas to build their capacity on areas in mental health, life skills, career mentorship, sexual and reproductive health. It is equipping them with the right knowledge to be able to make better and informed decisions about their lives.

Project Facilitator, Deborah Adewale, said the first day of the programme was aimed at teaching participants to understand their physical and emotional health and changes related to puberty and the functions of the reproductive organs. “During puberty, a girl becomes physically able to become pregnant, and a boy becomes physically able to father a child. Although the physical ability to have a baby is there, it does not mean she is ready to have a baby or that he is prepared to be a father, only that they are physically capable of creating and having a baby,” Adewale said.
