“Telling my story as a survivor, that comes with a lot of stigma,” Oluwaseun Ayodeji Osowobi, founder of Stand to End Rape (STER) and survivor of sexual assault, told Time’s Suyin Haynes.

STER‘s services holds training for health workers and counselling for survivors and their services have reached nearly 200,000 people across Nigeria.

Osowobi, Nigerian born women’s rights activist, she holds a master’s degree in International Relations from Swansea University in the United Kingdom. She has also been honoured as an Obama Foundation emerging leader as well as the 2019 Commonwealth young person of the year.

In 2020, she has plans to lobby the Nigerian government to draft a stronger bill to address harassment at universities.
