Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has arranged for s3x offenders to receive psychosocial support.

The rehabilitation program for offenders, organized in collaboration with the Nigerian Correctional Service, Lagos State Command, and the Institute of Counselling of Nigeria, aims to reduce sexual and gender-based violence in society.

The Executive Secretary, DSVA, Mrs Titilayo Vivour-Adeniyi, stated in a statement issued on Sunday night, May 15, that the support became necessary to reduce the possibility of incarcerated adult s3x offenders committing the same crime when they are reintegrated into society.

On a weekly basis, trained psychologists from DSVA and the Institute of Counseling facilitate the program, which is held in sessions and groups.

Inmates are expected to accept responsibility for their actions and to be educated on sexual health.
