W has reacted to the viral video of two men saying that the way
5-year-old girls are dressed could lead to them getting raped.During an
interview with Lolo of Rave TV, the men said 5-year-old and 7-year-old
girls are sexual beings and should be dressed properly to prevent men
from getting sexual thoughts about them.The host tried to make them see
reasons why their statements were wrong but they stood their
ground.Various celebrities have reacted to the video and Banky is the
latest to give his thought.He wrote on Instagram:This is one of the most
disgusting videos you will see this year. THIS MINDSET is the problem.
And the guy said "how is a child not a sexual being?" ARE YOU
INSANE?!?!? A 5 or 7 year old child and you have the guts to talk about
bum-shorts?!?!?!?! This is the real mindset of way too many men in
Nigeria. This is why 1 in 4 of our girl-children have been sexually
abused. And some of our boys too. We have a lot of behaviours to
un-learn. The idea that it's not the fault of a sick, twisted, perverted
individual who commits the sexual abuse/offense.. but that it's somehow
the fault of the victim because of an outfit. We just engaged with the
Mirabelle Center about their treatment of sexual abuse victims. They've
treated over 4,000 patients (all free) - but get this, their youngest
patient was a 3 month old baby girl.. and their oldest was a Grandma in
her 70's!!!!! We have a mindset that must be wiped out entirely. This is
not okay. Not sure what tv program this is, but that these 2 men could
actually CONFIDENTLY make these statements shows just how terrible some
of us think. For the sake of our children and our families... Everyone
should speak out against this.
Everyone. #HerStoryOurStory #ChildAbuse #endGenderBasedViolence
