The second edition of "Comprehending Gen Z + Gen A" returned to Benin City, focusing on the critical theme "My Body and Boundaries." This initiative, championed by Senator Neda Imasuen, brought together students, policymakers, and child advocates to discuss body autonomy, consent, and mutual respect.

Senator Imasuen emphasized the importance of inclusion, highlighting that understanding one's body and personal boundaries is crucial for building a just society. 

He stressed that both boys and girls must learn about respect, empathy, and responsibility to create a better future.

The Coordinator of the Edo State Office of the First Lady underscored the need for setting moral and behavioral boundaries, citing the alarming rate of sexual assault among young people.

 She emphasized that consent is paramount and that anyone who crosses personal boundaries is committing a serious offense.

Dr. Osigbovo Eriamiantoe of the University of Benin Health Centre advised young people to prioritize their mental health, warning that substance abuse and cultism can lead to depression and violence.

Representing the Edo State Commissioner for Youth Affairs, Permanent Secretary Iryn Omoroguiwa commended the initiative, reaffirming the government's commitment to providing safe spaces for youth engagement and development.

The event concluded with a powerful message: empowering young people through knowledge, confidence, and respect is key to building a safe and balanced society. 

Through this initiative, Senator Imasuen continues to champion the cause of youth empowerment and personal development.
