Disclosing her intention to establish a thrift shop where women could come and receive solace, encouragement and boost their morale for their sake and that of their children, she said, “Love yourselves, your children need you. Don’t engage a man, the risk is too much. So, if you must stay in your home, do not engage”, she added.
While identifying child abuse as another monster which needed to be fought to a standstill, Lady Chiaku pointed out that empowerment of the womenfolk held the answer against this menace.
“And If you see where a child is being abused, please, report it and we will handle it.
