AXA Mansard has partnered with the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) to deepen awareness and prevention of domestic and sexual violence against children through community-based sensitisation campaigns across Lagos.
The initiative forms part of the 2026 AXA Week for Good themed, “Being A Child Shouldn’t Be A Risk,” aimed at improving public enlightenment, encouraging reporting of abuse cases and strengthening child protection mechanisms at the grassroots.
Under the partnership, employee volunteers of AXA Mansard Insurance Plc will embark on door-to-door community engagements in collaboration with the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, which will provide technical support, training and guidance during the campaign.
The company said the programme builds on the success of its 2025 collaboration with the agency, which focused on school-based interventions to educate children and teachers on domestic and sexual violence.
Adebola Surakat, chief marketing officer of AXA Mansard, said this year’s campaign is targeted at families, parents, caregivers and community leaders because statistics show that most abuse cases occur within homes and among people familiar to children.
