WEPBI MEDIA AKA WITNESS
EXPERIENCE
The
social problems maligning our society especially those affecting the female
gender are increasing in geometric proportion. Yet, most persons are not aware
or pretend not to be, especially those whose responsibility it is to take
actions towards addressing these issues perhaps due to their personal
appetitive desires tends to look the other way while those affected continue to
suffer.
Society
has negatively transformed with marriages and the girl child going through
turbulent circumstances. For instance, domestic violence and other forms of marital
abuses, girl child rape and abuse, molestation, sex for grade, female genital
mutilation-cutting (FGM-C), ritualist relationships and other multi-dimensional
abuses and maltreatment are becoming normalized. Again, the conception of
marriage in Nigerian society where most women have no idea of prenuptial
agreements; let alone entering into any has exacerbated these and other related
issues. Notwithstanding, the predominant culture of silence have made it
practically almost impossible for these victims to speak out, nor able to
defend themselves leaving them at the mercy of their oppressors who at some
instance pretends to be the victim.
With
all these going on unabated, WEPBI is therefore poised to bridge the gap by
identifying such persons within society, recording their WITNESS EXPERIENCE
and bringing it to mainstream social discuss towards ameliorating their
challenges towards building a just egalitarian society were no gender is
subjugated or treated as less human. These is the goal of this strand of
WEPBI focus known as (WITNESS
EXPERIENCE).
