Stakeholders in the prevention of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence have raised the alarm over an increase in the reporting of sexual abuse against male children in the country.
The group also called for meticulous action in tackling what they described as a growing trend before it turned into a monster.
The call was made at the stakeholders’ workshop on Integrated Response To Advancing Justice And Accountability for SGBV in Lagos State held on Thursday.
The convener, Josephine Effah-Chukwuma, said attention had been on girls and women while the male gender was also going through similar experiences.
