REPORT OF THE “FOR GIRLS & BOYS ONLY” PROGRAMME HELD ON 9TH FEBRUARY 2008 AT 71, Kudirat Abiola Way, Oregun, Lagos.
The registration of the attendees commenced at 11.00a.m. While the program started at 12noon with an opening prayer. An attendance of three hundred and seventy-three teenagers and a number of parents was impressive, even though we prepared for one thousand attendees. We gave jotters, RWF bookmark calendar; vol.5 of FGO Newsletters to the attendees and questionnaire on HIV/AIDS, which was designed to get information on HIV/AIDS awareness. The completed ones were sent to the facilitator on HIV/AIDS for proper analysis. Questions were asked by a good number of the attendees and justified answers were given by the facilitators. A wide publicity was given to the programme in which we had a representative from Guardian News papers in attendance to cover the event and it was published on Page31of Sunday 24th February 2008 Guardian. There was a session set aside for counselling in which our counsellors had opportunity of counselling some of the attendees that needed counseling. Eighty-seven people accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour in the course of the program. This indeed is a success story. There was provision made for sausages and Nestle bottled water as refreshment in which everybody in attendance was served and felt happy at having a nice time in the seminar. The programme was sponsored by The Real Woman Foundation. The seminar was a great success, as all that was planned for was achieved.

They were also encouraged to open up to some of their trusted teachers. CHALLENGES:
We had challenges of some logistics as it pertains to chairs and tables. This was due to the fact that we couldn’t get enough chairs.

RESULT AND FINDINGS.
A study was carried out on the awareness of HIV/AIDS and sexual abuse amongst the female students of Ikosi Junior and Senior High School. The sample population was 200(two hundred). Their ages range from 10-20 years.
In the study conducted, 100% of the sample population said they were aware of the disease while 94.5% knows that it damages the immune system. 84.5% of the sample population is aware that there is no known cure for the disease while 12.5% said there is a cure. As a result of the percentage that thinks there is a cure, awareness campaigns should be intensified. 18% of the sample population believes that the disease can be inflicted on people by witches/wizards while a larger percentage (85%) acknowledges that sexual contact is a major way of contacting the disease. This is quite encouraging but more work still needs to be done in educating the young ones about the various ways in which this disease can be contacted. 94% believes that HIV may eventually progress into AIDS while 65.5% believes that a person carrying the HIV virus may not fall sick in the space of 10 years. To ascertain if they were aware of the means through which this disease could not be contacted, we asked if HIV/AIDS could be contacted through sharing of clothes; 68% gave a negative response, 28.5% believes it could be contacted through this means while 3.5% were not sure. 78% of the sample population is of the opinion that you cannot detect a person carrying the virus by merely looking at them while 18% said it is possible to know a person living with HIV/AIDS by looking at them. 88% of the girls have not been screened for HIV/AIDS while 8.5% have been screened. The reason being that only 7.5% of the girls are sexually active while 88% have not been involved in sexual acts. On whether they would continue their friendship with a friend who is diagnosed with the disease, 53.3% said they would continue the friendship, 43.5% said they would end it while 3% were not sure of what they would do. This result reflects the mindset prevalent in the larger population regarding people with HIV/AIDS status. 14.5% of the sample population was of the opinion that persons living with HIV/AIDS should be killed so as to prevent the virus from spreading while 82% didn’t think that was necessary. Only 10% of the sample population knows persons living with HIV/AIDS while 84.5% do not know anyone living with the disease. On whether any close relative has made any sexual advances towards them, 8% of the girls said yes while the remaining 92% said they had never been in such situations. 58.5% of the girls also believed that when someone of the opposite sex gave them gifts, he had ulterior motives while 34.5% didn’t agree with that notion. 3.5% of the girls said they had been forced by family members(male) to engage in sexual acts while 95.5% said they had never been forced by any male relative to have sex. 2.5% of the girls also acknowledged that they have been raped and this was usually done by close relatives, 66% said they had not had such experience while 31% gave no response. A large number of the girls said they had never been attracted to a female sexually and they were represented by 68.5%, 3.5% said they have been sexually attracted to a female and even engaged in sexual acts while 28% of them gave no response. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Questions were asked by a good number of students and justified answers were given by the facilitators. For Girls' Only, a subsidiary of The Real Woman Foundation has the following core objectives: 1. To prepare girls in secondary schools for their future with respect to avoiding abuse and rejection.

OUR MAIDEN OUTING AT OREGUN HIGH SCHOOL
We are delighted to inform you that the very first seminar organized by "For Girls Only" was held on the 10th of february, 2005 at Oregun High School. The day started at 10am with the registration of the students and at about 10.30am, the seminar kicked off. An attendance of about three hundred and forty (340) students and their teachers inclusive was impressive, even though we prepared for just two hundred (200) students. Two hundred "FGO" kits were packaged with each containing the following: Body spray, Everyday Sanitary Pad, Shaving stick, Close-up Toothpaste, One tablet of Toilet Soap and a Real Woman Mini book. The contents of the "FGO" kits were bought at the market from the RWF purse, however, we are hopeful that the corporate sponsors we wrote to (such as Procter & Gamble, PZ Industries, Unilever, CAP Plc, Coca Cola, Nigerian Bottling Company, Bel Impex Ltd, among others) will respond favorably. Though the call for sponsorship is not yet closed as "FGO" will be running a number of seminars in other secondary schools in the course of the year and subsequently. We thank God that all that was planned for was achieved. We give Him all the glory. |
