The founder of STER, Oluwaseun Awodeji Osowobi has just been
awarded the 2019 Commonwealth Young Person of the Year Award for her great
works.
Stand to End Rape #STER volunteers in pushing for change in
our society, achievement of the SDGs and supporting survivors.
A survivor of sexual violence herself, she set up the
service to offer support to women, men and young people who have experienced
any form of gender-based abuse in Nigeria.
STER trains healthcare workers how to deal with survivors
and provides them with free health kits such as HIV tests.
The award is given to a young person selected from Asia,
Africa, the Caribbean and Americas, and Europe with a grand monetary price of
£5,000 (N2,378,109.00).
The finalists from the regions are given a certificate, a
trophy, and grants to continue their humanitarian works.
