UROMI JDPCI CONCLUDES ADOLESCENT HUMAN RIGHTS SESSIONS WITH STUDENTS READY TO SPEAK UP AND STAY SAFE
On 2 October 2026, Uromi JDPCI concluded the quarterly Adolescent Human Rights Learning Sessions with engagements at Opoji Commercial Secondary School and Uhiele Secondary School, equipping adolescents with practical knowledge to recognize abuse, speak up, seek help and protect themselves.
The session began with a review of “Recognizing Abuse in Self and Others,” helping students recall warning signs, discuss what to do when something feels wrong, and identify trusted adults and support structures. At Uhiele, a student shared how she discussed speaking up about abuse with a younger sibling, leading to a serious disclosure of sexual harassment. She encouraged her sibling to report and seek help. Another student shared the safety messages with her siblings, encouraging them to speak up and protect themselves, while her mother appreciated the knowledge her children were gaining to stay safe.
The discussion then focused on “Self-Defense Mechanisms Against Sexual Violence and Rape,” with emphasis on personal safety, awareness, setting boundaries and taking action when a situation feels unsafe. Through interactive discussions and demonstrations, students learnt internal, verbal and physical self-defense skills, including how to say “NO,” call for help, create an opportunity to move away from danger and reach a trusted person. Their responses, examples and participation showed that they could identify potential risks and practical steps for protecting themselves and seeking help. At the heart of the session was a powerful reminder: “I am worth defending, and I have the right to defend myself.”
As the classroom engagements come to an end, Uromi JDPCI is encouraged students to carry the knowledge beyond the classroom; to friends, siblings, parents and the wider communities.
Because the goal was never simply to complete a series of sessions, it was to help adolescents recognize abuse, trust their voices, make safer choices and know where to turn when their rights are threatened.

UROMI JDPCI’S CHILD CHAMPIONS TAKE THE MESSAGE FURTHER: ANOTHER CAMPAIGN AGAINST CHILD TRAFFICKING
On 22 September 2026, Uromi JDPCI, through the AACTING Project, supported Child Champions at Idunwele Girls Secondary School to lead an engaging campaign against child trafficking, exploitation and abuse. Joining the sensitization were the Principal, teachers, child protection group, parents and students including Child Champions.
In his remarks, the Assistant Executive Director of Uromi JDPCI, Rev. Fr. Ferguson Ukpebor, encouraged the students to take their education seriously, remain alert to the dangers of human trafficking and use the knowledge gained to educate and protect others.
The atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm and learning as the Child Champions confidently took the lead, demonstrating how far they have come from receiving training to becoming young voices for child protection.
Through lively presentations, child champions brought the realities of child trafficking closer to their peers and other participants, highlighting warning signs, exposing the dangers and sharing practical ways children can stay safe, speak up and seek help when they feel threatened.
Their message to parents was equally clear: listen to children, take their concerns seriously, support their education, know where and with whom they are, and never place them in unsafe situations for money.

UROMI JDPCI'S CHILD CHAMPIONS EXTEND CAMPAIGN AGAINST CHILD TRAFFICKING
On 17 September 2026, Uromi JDPCI, through the AACTING Project, further supported Child Champions at Igueben to lead a powerful campaign against child trafficking, exploitation and abuse at the Igueben Palace Pavilion. Participants included community leaders, The Eson (Queen) of Igueben kingdom, women, men, youths, parents and children.
In his remarks, the Assistant Executive Director of Uromi JDPCI, Rev. Fr. Ferguson Ukpebor, challenged parents and community members to remain vigilant about their children’s safety and activities, including the use of phones, and ensure that children have safe spaces to speak up when they feel threatened.
The child champions led the conversation and sensitization through engaging presentations in English, Pidgin English and the local language, exposing the warning signs and dangers of trafficking and shared practical ways children can stay safe and speak up when they feel threatened. They called on parents to listen to their children, take their concerns seriously, support their education, know where and whom their children are with, and never expose them to unsafe situations because of money. Community leaders were equally challenged to protect vulnerable children, provide safe channels for reporting abuse and trafficking, and act promptly whenever a child is missing or at risk.
In a drama presentation, the child champions portrayed how a child was deceived with promises of employment and a better life for her family, only to become sexually exploited and lose her life — a strong reminder that trafficking can begin with a promise that sounds too good to be true.
The campaign concluded with community leaders and other participants including the child champions stamping the commitment board, pledging to protect children, speak up, report suspected trafficking cases, support survivors and build safer environments for every child.
Through the continued child-led awareness, Uromi JDPCI strengthened a culture in which children are heard, risks are recognized early, and communities are better equipped to protect every child from trafficking, exploitation and abuse.

They also called on community leaders to protect vulnerable children, provide safe channels for reporting abuse and trafficking, prevent the harbouring or movement of children for exploitative purposes, and take prompt action when a child is missing or at risk.
A drama presentation by the child champions further brought the realities of child trafficking to life, highlighting the importance of staying safe online and being cautious about online interactions, as traffickers can also target and exploit children through digital platforms.

UROMI JDPCI VISIT UBIAJA CUSTODIAL CENTRE: PROMOTING HOPE, RESPONSIBILITY AND TRANSFORMATION
On 9th September 2026, Uromi JDPCI conducted its monthly apostolate visit to the Ubiaja Custodial Centre, reaffirming its commitment to upholding the dignity, wellbeing, rehabilitation and reintegration of inmates. The visit was led by the Assistant Executive Director, Rev. Fr. Ferguson Ukpebor, alongside Rev. Fr. Francis Obaweiki, a Psychologist. The session reached 46 male inmates.
The psychosocial support session focused on the theme, “How do I Live Responsibly from Here On?” Fr. Ferguson emphasized that responsible living begins with the choices individuals make, even while still in custodial centre. He encouraged the inmates to take responsibility for their lives (Lam. 3:40), embrace sincere repentance (Luke 19:1–19), change negative behaviours and mindsets, choose friends carefully (1 Cor. 15:33), and begin building a new chapter of their lives through consistent positive choices. He reminded them that while their past may be part of their story, it does not have to define their future.
Reinforcing the message, Rev. Fr. Francis Obaweiki stressed that genuine rehabilitation begins with the individual and the choices they make. He encouraged the inmates to cultivate positive attitudes, discipline and determination while resisting the temptation to return to former ways.
The visit also provided opportunities for personal spiritual growth and transformation. One inmate received individual spiritual counselling, while 15 inmates participated in a catechism class in preparation for the Sacrament of Baptism. One participant shared that the catechism classes has helped him rebuild his life, transform his mindset, let go of his old ways and gain a deeper understanding of the importance of Baptism. In a further effort to support wellbeing and hygiene, 12 sanitary pads were distributed to female inmates
Through these engagements, Uromi JDPCI continue to create spaces for reflection, healing, spiritual growth and renewed hope, helping persons inmates to prepare for responsible living and meaningful reintegration into society.
