Stand For Humanity Foundation Launches Anti-Child Abuse Drive

Stand For Humanity Foundation has intensified its campaign against child abuse in Imo State, focusing on major markets and public areas in Mbaitoli and Owerri North Local Government Areas. On Saturday, Chidiebube Okeoma, the Founder and President of the organization, led the advocacy tour aimed at traders and residents to raise awareness about the dangers of child abuse.

The campaign included visits to Egbeada Market, Akwakuma, and Amakaohia markets, as well as Imo State University Junction and Works Layout. Okeoma warned against various forms of child abuse, including sexual abuse, forced marriages, child labor, and denial of education.

He emphasized that child abuse is a criminal offense under Nigerian law. The foundation also shared contact details for reporting suspected abuse and distributed educational materials.

This campaign follows previous outreach activities in Aboh Mbaise and Owerri North LGA, with a commitment to continue advocacy until child abuse is significantly reduced.
