In the wake of prevalent physical and sexual abuse<\/a> of girls and women across Nigeria, two groups have announced plans to train hundreds of girls and women on self-defence and general safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on behalf of the two groups. ProtectHer and Target Search Global Nigeria, in a statement, co-founder, ProtectHer, Clare Henshaw, noted that the partnership will train girls and women on the key concepts and strategies of physical self-defence and general personal safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe outlook of the collaboration is to empower girls and women with the requisite knowledge for general safety and skills to defend themselves from physical violence and abuse which are on the increase these days\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She implored girls and women across all ages to participate in the training billed to commence in July across Lagos, before moving to other states in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
