“It is important for us as a collective and as individuals to see to the protection of our children not only because they are our children but also because violating them in body and mind portends danger for their future and that of Nigeria,” Nkemakonam Linda Ijeh, Director StopS-CAN.
Our vision at StopS-CAN is to create a world where no child suffers the damaging effects of child sexual abuse.
