"Hello 1011" and "Ushadi" for the fight against violence against children

Operational from the mobile networks, these two projects will be used to denounce via SMS and calls through the free green line "Allo 1011" cases of rape and violence on children. They were officially launched this Friday in Lomé, by the Ministry of Social Action for the Promotion of Women and Literacy with the collaboration of Plan International Togo and its partners.

Non-exhaustive data from the 2014 Child Protection Dashboard shows rape, physical abuse of children in schools, learning centers and homes.

According to Tchabinandi Kolani Yentcharé, Minister in charge of Social Action, these figures call for the need to rethink the strategies for strengthening existing protection mechanisms to guarantee children a violence-free environment.

Confidential reporting of acts of violence against children, without fear of reprisal, is possible this time with the Ushadi platform, "testimony" in Swahili. This will increase the level of whistleblowing and alerting, make it easier to handle cases of abuse and improve data collection at the ministry level.

Finally with "Allo 1011" young people can have information and advice on sexual and reproductive health.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins.

Contrary to the popular belief that Taiwo, being the first born of the twins, is old

Obviously, the son of the first president of Togo is disappointed with the agreement RPT / UFC signed in 2010. The party with the emblem of the red palm has agreed to collaborate with the regime, in order to make reforms and put the country back on rails. But this project was only a failure. "The UFC has a disappointing record in the RPT-UFC deal, and the RPT / UNIR has planted the seeds of despair," Gilchrist Olympio said this morning. Through subterfuges, the regime has managed to roll the former historical opponent in the flour. For Mr. Olympio, Togo would be otherwise if the current regime had come to power under normal conditions. "Let's have the courage to recognize that if Faure Gnassingbe h
