We need to look into this "Social :-Pandemic/ Virus /GBV broadly, practically, realistically and from the Roots. Being a Midwife, Ive observed that every baby (male or female), comes to this Earth with a" Clear Mind ". Only recognizing mom's and/ or dad's voice(s) and demanding his basic needs . Then comes the nurturing from home and community as It takes a community & whole nation to raise a child.
Chatting to large numbers of women in different groups, l've summarized that, there is a "Common Denominator,",whereby :-
1. It starts with two people, falling in love (They may or not have a child /children). 2. Parents not constantly displaying and reminding their Kid(s) ALWAYS, on how much they are being loved. This may be occurring consciously or subconsciously, due to whatever reasons, 3. Once there's irreversible discord between parents either one or both uses kid(s) as tool (s) to fuel the battle, 4. One or both parents are absent , due to busy work life schedules or other issues, 5.In most cases small percentage of Girls sometimes survives and come out smarter and stronger, but very, very minimal percentages of Boys who survives.
Now, he has to go out there and be a Man and raise his family. Surely, you imagine how his young adulthood journey would be like🤔. All the lack / basic needs depravation is going to breed anything negative that is socially unacceptable the society.
Remember : This information is not meant to offend anyone, but the main aim is to:- prevent these social I'lls, where possible whist its still early. Prevention is better than cure. Or where there are early warning signs, urgent assistance be given to the child before it' becomes chronic.
We need to be realistic, so that our actions planned yealds positive achievable and fruitful changes that we're aiming at in our campaigns, respectively.
1. Let's care and love deeply for our boys mostly and girls constantly, 2. Know their friends and their parents, 3. Be there for them always so as to identify behavioral diviation early, and intervene early. 4. When the relationship is irretrievable, l parents needs think for the growing souls, and ensure that all their actions, is their kids best interests. ( l know, it's easier said than done. However this is the teaching we need give out there).
Finally :- Together, we will Win this battle. Enough is Enough!!! 🙌🙏
