A Nigerian entrepreneur, writer and speaker, Mercy Makinde, has taken to social media to share the shocking revelations made by underage teenage girls who have been sexually abused by their uncles, family friends, neighbours and classmates.
The shocking revelations were made during the 'Touch Me Not Campaign' recently held in Lagos on Monday, according to the CEO of IASPIRE RADIO, who called on parents to listen to their children.
While sharing the images below that showed what some of the teenage girls said on her Facebook page, she wrote;
"It’s been another depressing day today as we embarked on the TOUCH ME NOT CAMPAIGN and listened to the woes of our dear children of this country!
They are going through so much and we can’t just keep watching some evil people destroy the lives of these innocent children.
Parents please listen to your children. Believe them if they report any case of abuse to you. Our children are dying in silence !
They live in fear. They are being threatened by Abusers right under your roof. No matter the high class school you put them... no matter the plenty school fees you are paying... these kids won’t thrive if they are dealing with this trauma.
Parents please keep an eagle eye on your child. If you can’t deal with the reality of them being abused, rather than sweep it under the carpet please seek help . Call us!"
