THE IMPORTANCE OF SEX EDUCATION ON THE SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR OF YOUTHS IN UNIVERSITY OF BENIN, BENIN CITY .

ABSTRACT

  This study examined the evaluation of the use of ICT in reporting domestic violence cases in Oluku. Benin City. The research adopted a qualitative approach to data collection and analysis, with both primary and secondary source data employed. The primary data involved in-depth interviews with selected informants from the relevant agencies in Nigeria and the available governmental policy documents on use of ICT in reporting domestic violence, including conversations with security personnel, academics, senior officials from security research institutes, members of private institutions and government agencies in communication sectors. The secondary data consist of books, journals, and internet sources. Our analysis reveals that use of ict in reporting domestic violence in Nigeria is underestimated and ineffective.  The study concluded that To address the gaps in the evidence and build towards a more cohesive evidence base, standard metrics are needed to evaluate the intermediary outcomes aligned to evidence-based frameworks such as RESPECT and INSPIRE. As more ICT interventions are used for prevention of, and/or response to SGBV, and with the use standard metrics to evaluate their impact, it is anticipated that clusters of evidence will emerge. The study thus recommended that need for a curricula that is not reliant on text book and course coverage but one that allow room for deep enquiry which is supported by ICT as well as need to avail more relevant digital content for use in secondary schools.
