Stand For Humanity Foundation Teams Up with Diplomat to Fight Child Abuse

Stand For Humanity Foundation has formed a partnership with Ambassador Nkemjika Egwuim, who serves as the Assistant Secretary-General of the Association of Senates, Shoora and Equivalent Councils in Africa and the Arab World (ASSECAA). This collaboration aims to explore strategies to combat child abuse, particularly sexual abuse and physical assault.

Chidiebube Okeoma, the Executive Director of Stand For Humanity Foundation, led a courtesy visit to Ambassador Egwuim at his residence in Amaogwugwu village, Imo State, on Tuesday. Okeoma expressed concern over the increasing incidence of child abuse and highlighted the foundation's efforts, which include facilitating the arrest of hundreds of suspects in 2026, resulting in one conviction.

The foundation, registered on December 13, 2024, aims to promote access to justice and create safe environments for children. During the visit, Ambassador Egwuim was designated as an Anti-Child Abuse Ambassador, acknowledging the need for stronger collaboration in addressing child abuse.
