    LAGOS DSVA COMMENCES 2023 BUSINESS TRAINING FOR HIGH-RISK SURVIVORS

    The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has commenced its Year 2023 Batch A Business Training for high-risk survivors.

    Executive Secretary of DSVA, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, in her address at the opening ceremony of the programme, said the training which was organised in collaboration with SME 100 Africa was the actualization of one of the promises of the State Government to Survivors of SGBV in the State to renew their confidence and financial independence following their traumatic experiences.

    She explained that the business training is conducted for survivors of domestic and sexual violence who have gone through a rigorous assessment process and have shown interest in starting or upscaling their businesses in order to make them independent and ensure that they can stand on their own, thereby minimising the likelihood of returning to the place of abuse. 

    Emphasising that the training is also in line with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s THEMES Plus agenda, particularly Gender Equality and Social Inclusion, she informed that the programme was designed to cut across different businesses and sectors with a focus on financial management, marketing and digital transformation. 

    Vivour-Adeniyi also said the training aims at nurturing participants for the skill set in a changing business world while preparing them to focus on more practical insights in business.

    She, therefore, advised the participants to avail themselves of the opportunities inherent in the training as it is a prerequisite for accessing the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Trust Fund.
