Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, (DSVA) has began psycho-social support for willing sex offenders to curb sexual and gender-based violence in the society.

The sex rehabilitation programme is done in partnership with the Nigerian Correctional Service, Lagos State Command and the Institute of Counselling of Nigeria. It is aimed at mitigating the risk of recidivism by sex offenders.

She stressed that providing psycho-social support was in line with Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu’s commitment and resolve to provide holistic response to Sexual and Gender Based Violence in the state. “Furthermore, inmates are also armed with peer and professional support to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours that lead to inappropriate sexual conducts.

“Whilst the rehabilitation programme does not offer amnesty or excuse abusive acts, it seeks to reduce any reoccurrence of child sexual abuse and rape cases from sex convicts in future,” she noted.
