About Us
House of Fatima
House of Fatima for Abused Girls Foundation (CAC/IT/NO 146255) is a non-governmental organization created to protect the boy and girl child from all forms of abuse in a society where people are shy to speak out against sexual abuse, violence, molestation, and all forms of abuse against the boy and girl child in today’s society.
It is a safe house for those that have been abused and are seeking refuge away from their oppressors. This website is currently under construction and if you join this cause, please feel free to drop your mail below.
Evidence suggests that gender and age norms play a vital role in the life of a child especially here in Africa. The boy and girl Child abuse are reportedly more common amongst both young males and females in Nigeria. This may be attributed to the economic marginalization of females that and general patterns of oppression which make it hard to resist abuse.
The abuse of girls and young females may also be linked to the common practice of using girl child domestic work as part of their ‘training’ to become good wives and mothers. And most times leaving them in situations where untamed men take advantage of them.
This abuse often time starts very early. It could be a friend, a guardian, or even a parent in most cases abusing the girl child and they are silenced never to speak about it.
We want to change this narrative. The girl child should be loved, protected, nurtured, and guided to become whatever they desire like the male child. This abused is going on in our society and the House of Fatima wants to put a stop to it.
The House of Fatima took the time to cover the process of pain and agony the girls go through when abused and molested. Represented in our logo, the BLACK on the logo represents the pain the girls go through.
The RED represents the innocence and the virginity that was taken away forcefully from the girl child.
The pains when even their loved ones abandon them. The pains where they have to keep their story to themselves because they are afraid of stigmatization.
Pains can not be quantifiable but can only be understood by someone who has gone through the same issue. When these girls find themselves in this situation, they are often driven to live disordered life. A life of prostitution, drinking, being aggressive, crime, the list goes on. These aspects of their lives represent the black on the logo.
After the darkness comes a phase represented with WHITE on our logo where they come in contact with help and decide to live a worthy life with their head raised high.
