Do you know any victim of sexual violence, who is in need of medical attention in Lagos, please refer the victim to:
"The Mirabel Centre",
Lagos State Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.
Tel: 0811 555 4877 or 0818 724 3468 or 01-295 7816.

Partnership for Justice is pleased to inform you that our sexual assault referral centre started providing services to victims of rape and sexual assault today.
The Sexual Assault Referral Centre was set up by an NGO called Partnership for Justice.


The Mirabel Centre, is a safe, friendly and private place that provides holistic and quality services and support to survivors of sexual assault in a compassionate and caring manner, in a way that
respects each individual's specific need and rights to make choices about how to address these needs.

The Mirabel Centre provides the following services
A. Medical examination and treatment for illness and injuries caused by the assault
B. Counselling (face to face and telephone) to help cope with emotional and psychological effects of rape
C. Help reporting to the police
D. Information on the legal system
E. Referral to other agencies for help not provided at the Centre.

All the services at the Centre, including drugs, are provided free.
Doctors and nurses working at the Centre are trained forensic medical examiners and the counselors have undergone training on sexual assault trauma. Confidentiality is a key principle at the Centre.

The Mirabel Centre is located within the premises of the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, Lagos.
It is open every working day from 8 30am to 5 30pm.

We look forward to collaborating with you all as we work to eliminate gender based violence and provide support to survivors and members of their families.

Please share these numbers with all your friends and networks.

I love this! Now victims of sexual assault have somewhere to go to without having to be further victimized and made to feel ashamed by uncaring people e.g the Police.

Way to go...I hope victims of gender based violence make good use this wonderful opportunity,it takes a lot of confidence to come out though. Best news I've heard about and from Nigeria in a while,you will be shocked at the number of victims dying in silence for fear of stigmatization if they ever come out.

Nice one! I can imagine the scowl on the faces of rapists on seeing this.

A commendable move,a laudable project, sexual assault has witnessed a steady increase in Nigeria,and many of them usually go unreported. The height of it is the increasing rate of fathers sleeping with their daughters. Shameful,abomiinable. Olusola Oso. http://www.olusolaoso.blogspot.com/

About time.

Aunty Linda, can you have their details permanently on your blog? I know say space dey for a premium but any thing to highlight the level of violence against women in Nigeria is a good thing.

We need more advocacy for women issues, especially violence against women.
