Welcome to the Cross River University of Technology(CRUTECH), Faculty of Communication and Media Studies Family!
New intake, let’s start this journey together on the right foot. Remember, consent is everything. It can be withdrawn and renewed. It’s about mutual respect, clear communication, and ensuring everyone feels safe and comfortable.

The Emerging Genderplus Outreach Team (EGOT) and the Nigerian Women Trust Fund (NWTF) have been actively working to address Child, Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM) and Sexual Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in the remote forest communities of Cross River State, Nigeria.
Through a series of initiatives, including workshops and dialogues, they have been successful in:
* Developing Community Byelaws: Creating local laws to protect women and girls from child marriage, domestic violence, and gender discrimination.
* Raising Awareness: Educating young people about gender equality, human rights, and harmful gender stereotypes.
* Fostering Dialogue: Bringing together people of different ages to discuss and address issues related to CEFM and SGBV.
These efforts are part of a larger project aimed at strengthening women's rights and ending violence against women and girls in Nigeria. By combining legal interventions, awareness-raising, and community engagement, EGOT and NWTF are working to create a safer and more equitable future for women and girls in these remote communities.
