FAME Foundation organized an outdoor exercise tagged ‘Hiking Against Rape’, to campaign against the rape pandemic which has tripled in number since COVID-19 lockdown.

Hiking against rape; a PLAYit,DREAMit project, is an initiative aimed at using sports to drive a cause with the hope of creating sustainable changes in the society.

All speakers at the event were men; a deliberate act for men to talk and advice themselves against the evil act of rape.

One of the speakers, Chairman of FCT Football Association, Adam Mouktar Mohammed said that research has shown that 93% of these sex crimes are perpetrated by those within a victim’s circle. “This often starts from the home and so we have to be vigilant and watchful in homes, schools and offices.

Mustapha Mubdiyu, a speaker at the exercise also stressed on the need for parents to educate their children on sex education. “There is a lot of work to be done by parents. They should always enlighten their children on sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sex organs and its functions, the rights and wrongs, associated with it,” he advised.
