These days, there are KO in mysterious circumstances. The victims of rape are mostly our girl children. 

Sadly,,the perpetrators of rape are sometimes, uncles, family friends, Facebook friends and even stepfathers and even blood fathers. In view of the rampant cases of rape which sometimes lead to deaths of victims, it is very pertinent for us to look at some ways we could use to protect our female kids at home and even in schools.

EFFECTS OF SEXUAL ABUSE 

Sexual abuse is a serious and traumatic offense that can have long-lasting effects on victims. That is why it is very important to take drastic steps to protect your child from sexual abuse , as the young children are more vulnerable to this type of assault. 

WAYS YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM SEXUAL ABUSE 

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT THEIR BODIES 

* You should teach your children about their own bodies. Let them understand that their bodies belong to them alone and not anyone else so that it is their exclusive right to say no to anyone who want to take undue advantage to touch their bodies physically in sensitive parts. 

* Tell them to say no to anyone who tries to touch them and suggests intimacy with them, not even their cousins, uncles, family friends, teachers in schools or lesson teachers especially of  the opposite sex.

* TEACH THEM ABOUT DANGERS FROM STRANGERS:

* Educate your children the danger strangers pose in this matters if rape. It is very important to note also that apart from teaching them to be careful about strangers, it is equally very important to know that more often than not, most sexual abuse is committed by While it is important to teach your child about stranger danger, it is also important to note that someone that the victims know.

TEACH THEM THE ROLE OF INSTINCT 

* Teach your children the role instincts play by being careful around people that are around them at any point in time, even those they know, be they family members or friends. In fact children should be taught that they should take everyone as suspects and remain careful anywhere they are. This includes in their home, primary and secondary and even at the University levels.

I can add here that parents should warn their children not to Honour any invitations from people they meet online as many of rape and murder cases happen from online friends  they lured to hotels and unknown destinations.

ESTABLISH RULES AND NO-GO AREAS: 

Set explicit limits and guidelines for your child, such as prohibiting them from traveling with strangers or disclosing private information online. Make sure your youngster understands that breaking a rule to keep oneself safe is acceptable. 

While allowing your child some independence is crucial, you should also keep an eye on them to make sure they're safe. Setting restrictions on their travel, company, and activity levels may be part of this.

Know your child's whereabouts: Make sure you know where your child is at all times and who they are with. Encourage your child to check in with you regularly and to tell you if their plans change.

Discuss consent: 
TALK TO THEM ABOUT CONSENT

Teach your child about the importance of consent and that they have the right to say no to any physical touch or activity that makes them feel uncomfortable.

Encourage open dialogue by telling your child they can talk to you about any worries or inquiries they may have. Make it clear to your child that they may turn to you at any time for support and assistance. 

You may help prevent sexual assault on your child by taking the necessary precautions and giving them the safety equipment they require. It's crucial to get assistance from a reliable adult or a licensed professional if you believe your child has experienced sexual assault

History-Will-Judge-the-Plotters:-Tinubu’s-Statesmanship-Halts-a-Reckless-Impeachment-in-Rivers

History Will Judge the Plotters: Tinubu’s Statesmanship Halts a Reckless Impeachment in Rivers Dave Ikiedei Asei/Wisdom Tide  January 9th, 2026 In moments of political tension, nations are often defined not by the noise of dissent but by the calm authority of leadership. Rivers State recently stood at such a crossroads, threatened by an ill-conceived impeachment plot against Governor Siminalayi Fubara—a move so poorly grounded in law, morality, and public interest that it exposed its sponsors more than it imperiled its target. The timely intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who ordered the Rivers State House of Assembly (RSHA) to immediately halt all impeachment proceedings and directed lawmakers to consult with the APC National Chairman for guidance, restored sanity to a process drifting dangerously toward chaos.
