*Student-Teacher Relationships: Maintaining Appropriate Boundaries*

As educators, we play a vital role in shaping the minds of future generations. However, with this privilege comes the responsibility of maintaining appropriate boundaries in our relationships with students. Crossing these boundaries can lead to harmful consequences, including gender-based violence (GBV).

*Appropriate Boundaries*

So, what constitutes appropriate boundaries in student-teacher relationships? Some key examples include:

- Avoiding physical contact or touching
- Refraining from sharing personal information or photos
- Maintaining professional communication channels
- Avoiding excessive one-on-one time with students
- Not accepting gifts or favors from students

*Red Flags*

It's essential to recognize the red flags that indicate a student-teacher relationship may be crossing a boundary. These include:

- Excessive one-on-one time with a student
- Inappropriate communication or gifts
- Physical contact or touching
- Sharing personal information or photos
- Favoritism or preferential treatment

*Prevention and Action*

To prevent GBV and maintain appropriate boundaries, we must:

- Establish and communicate clear boundaries
- Encourage open communication and reporting
- Foster a safe and respectful learning environment
- Provide training and support for educators
- Take prompt action when red flags arise

By prioritizing appropriate boundaries and recognizing red flags, we can create a safe and respectful learning environment for all students. Let's work together to prevent GBV and foster a culture of respect and professionalism in our schools.

The Association Against Child Sexual and Gender Based Violence, a not-for-profit group with major thematic of promoting peaceful coexistence , inclusivity , social justice, gender equality and protection of the rights of vulnerable persons including Women and person's with disabilities joins the celebration while emphasizing the urgent need for continued protection and promotion of women’s rights in the country.

According to the statement by the groups Chairperson, Amb Eris Jewo Ibi, despite progress made since 1999, Nigerian women still face significant challenges, including various forms of gender-based violence which includes obnoxious culture widowhood practices, domestic and economic violence, discrimination, limited access to education and economic opportunities.
The Association adds her voice to that of WARDC, Womanifesto and other Women 's Rights and developmental organizations in Nigeria to call on the Federal and State governments to prioritize policies and programs addressing these issues, ensuring women’s full participation in society leadership and governance

The organization specifically calls on the 10th National Assembly to revisit the five rejected gender- bills, which include:

– Special seats for women in the National Assembly
– 35% affirmative action for women in political party administration
– Expanded citizenship rights for women
