The Campus Pal App is a promising instrument for tackling the problem
A technology-driven platform called the Campus Pal App designed to report cases of sexual harassment in Nigeria higher institutions of learning has been launched by a non-governmental organisation, Gender Mobile Initiative. It is a feature-rich platform with confidentiality-driven reporting and tracking device to curtail the prevalence of sexual violence on the campuses of institutions of higher learning in Nigeria. According to the promoter and Executive Director, Gender Mobile Initiative, Ms Omowunmi Ogunrotimi, the idea was borne out of the desire to bridge existing gaps in terms of reporting sexual and gender -based violence. “With data we can do a lot of things, with data we can be sure that our interventions are meeting the needs of the communities that we are doing programing for. It is now time to move into the institutions to drive the adoption of the mobile application.”
