In this chat with Juliet Ebirim, the mother of three who has continued to be an inspiration to many shares her rape ordeal as a teenager, as well as her experience working with young people and other rape victims. Excerpt; What led to the birth of the Heartminders Project? After school, I worked in a media house as a journalist and then proceeded to the banking industry for about nine years. After that, I went into blogging on relationship, sex and marriage. Most of the feedbacks I got were mostly from youths and teenagers on sex and sexuality. I decided to take an online diploma course on dating and relationship. There was a particular time I visited a secondary school because I realised there was a vacuum in the educational sector on the type of sex education that should be taught to teenagers, so I started Heartminders Initiative. I started going to schools to teach sex education for free. From there we started getting a lot of projects and we found ourselves campaigning against rape and sexual abuse. This was in 2011. How has the journey been so far?…
