Eve’s World International (E.W.I) is
a Non Governmental Organization focused on the rising menace of Sexual abuse towards Women and children
(especially young girls) in the society. E.W.I was founded in 2013 as an online
platform for members and contributors to express individual views on sexual abuse. The
organization is run by a team of dedicated persons who feel the need to take an
extra
step forward to curb the menace of Sexual
abuse towards Women and children. We understand that this issue cannot be
eradicated entirely because it’s a global issue in the world today, never the
less; we are willing to contribute our quota in making the world a better
place, starting from ourselves and our immediate society – also, encouraging Victims of such violence to SPEAK OUT!
E.W.I’s objectives are:
OBJ 1 - To build and
increases awareness on the dangers in Sexual
abuse of Women and Children (particularly young girls).
OBJ 2 - Emphasize the role
of sex education for Children.
OBJ 3 - Discuss Case Studies and proffer way forward to avoid re-occurrence.
OBJ 4 - Encourage positive
parenting and underscore the effect of stronger family bond.
OBJ 5 - Reach out to our
Government and persons in corridors of power to proffer long term solutions,
including stiffer penalties for misdemeanors.
Using available data, the highest
prevalence rate of Child Sexual Abuse
geographically was found in Africa at 34.4%. Europe showed the lowest
prevalence rate of 9.2%. In Africa, gone are the days when women were scared to report
cases of sexual assaults for the fear of being stigmatized. Young girls also
preferred to suffer in silence for the fear of being mocked by peers or not
finding a suitor if the abuse became public knowledge. In today’s world,
sexually abused persons in developing countries also step out publicly to
report cases of rape, molestation and so on. Yet it is not enough.
Only about 20% SPEAK OUT ,particularly in Nigeria. Women and children experience sexual abuse every single
day in large numbers and yet stay quiet, suffering in silence. Pedophiles take
advantage of young children; men rape their own daughters; relatives consent to
incest and many more.
Child sexual abuse or molestation is
a form of abuse in which adults or adolescents use a child for sexual
stimulation. This is common in both developed and developing countries. Sexual
assault of children often includes: incest, Fondling,
Obscene phone calls, Intercourse,
Oral or anal sex, Prostitution,
child Pornography and any other sexual conduct that is harmful to a child's
mental, emotional, or physical welfare. Adult Survivors of childhood
sexual abuse experience an array of overwhelming and intense feelings. These
may include feelings of fear, guilt, inability to love or commit to the
opposite sex, and shame. For us at
E.W.I, We encourage victims to SPEAK OUT. It is also our objective to find a solution to the
menace of Sexual abuse in Nigeria and the world at large.
We say-
- ENOUGH! to the suffering in silence of sexually abused victims, especially in
developing countries such as Nigeria. Victims should learn to SPEAK OUT.
- ENOUGH! to the stigmatization of victims of sexual abuse in Africa. Societies should stop the criticizing of such persons nor judge them. Abused women and children should be
encouraged to come forward and SPEAK OUT irrespective of what society may think/say.
By so doing, you will save one person from being abused.
