I am the lead trainer on the TechforWomen training on sexual reproductive health and rights. The training takes place in batches of 15 girls per quarter. The training involves 6 classes of a 4 hour session. I make use of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education curriculum and facilitators manual to facilitate the sessions which comprised of 12 topics that spanned across 5 thematic areas namely; Personal Skills, Human body and development, Understanding gender, Relationships and Sexual Reproductive Health. I use different methods of facilitating and teaching which include power point presentations, flip charts, film shows, energizers, quizzes, debates and role play. Some of the topics covered during the training include; values, self-esteem, goal-setting, assertiveness, relationships, finding help, puberty, human anatomy, gender roles, sexual abuse, sexually transmitted infections and contraceptives. As of today, 30 girls have been trained with the third batch starting in October 2020.

WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT YOUR PROJECT WORKS?
There has been evidence that the project works from the results of the pre and post-test which clearly shows an increase in knowledge gained after the training. In the words of Omojulowo Elizabeth, a beneficiary of the training for batch 1, she said "Now I know how to calculate my period and prevent STI". This is education that she has not received before.
DO YOU HAVE CURRENT USERS OR TESTERS?
We are currently recruiting the 3rd batch to be trained which includes 15 girls from an underserved community in Lagos, Nigeria.
