Child sexual abuse in Nigeria

Child Sexual Abuse in Nigeria is when an adult uses a child for their own sexual pleasure without the child understanding what is happening. This type of abuse is particularly bad in Nigeria because it is not talked about and often goes unreported. Children who experience this may feel ashamed, scared, hurt and confused. To stop this from happening, it's important to talk to kids about their bodies and how to stay safe from people who would want to hurt them. It is also important to watch for warning signs, like changes in behavior, a child withdrawing from activities they used to enjoy, or any kind of physical pain or discomfort. If someone suspects a child is being abused, they should talk to a trusted adult who can help get help for the child and the family.
