The Lagos Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has organised business entrepreneurship training for survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence.
The DSVA executive secretary, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
Ms Vivour-Adeniyi said the training was in collaboration with SME100Africa. She stated that the training fulfilled one of the Lagos government’s promises to survivors of SGBV.
She added, “The government training is to renew survivors’ confidence and financial independence, following their traumatic experiences, in keeping with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s THEMES Plus Agenda, particularly gender equality and social inclusion.
“The training was conducted by professionals for survivors of SGBV who have gone through rigorous assessment process and have shown interest in starting or upscaling their businesses to make them independent. It is also to ensure that they are able to stand on their own, thereby minimising the likelihood of returning to the place of abuse.”
According to her, the training covers various businesses across sectors, focusing on financial management, marketing and digital transformation.
She also mentioned that the training aimed at nurturing participants for skills in a changing business world.
