The Management of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) is aware of recent public concerns, commentary, and outrage following the circulation on social media of an image showing a publication on sexual harassment.
We acknowledge that the publication was originally produced by the University’s Student Affairs Division. However, it has been withdrawn, as its content does not reflect the values, position, or standards of the University of Lagos.
The University of Lagos wishes to state unequivocally, and for the record that we do not tolerate rape or sexual harassment in any form, nor do we validate, engage in, or support victim-blaming or shaming.
Placing the responsibility on victims or suggesting that individuals are to blame for being subjected to harassment is entirely unacceptable and contrary to the core values of our institution.
Sexual harassment is a serious misconduct that has no place in our community and must never be trivialised.
We also recognise that sexual harassment is not gender- specific and can affect anyone.
We, therefore, encourage any student who has experienced or witnessed sexual harassment to utilize the University’s official, confidential reporting structures to ensure immediate investigation and support.
The University of Lagos remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining a safe, respectful, equitable, and inclusive environment in which all members of its community can learn, work, and thrive.
Signed
