LADIES EMPOWERMENT AND AWARENESS MOVEMENT.

(LEA)

NON-GOVERNMENTAL

NON-PROFIT MAKING

What is LEA?

LEA is a non-governmental and a non-profit making movement that came

into existence in the year 2006. LEA was born out of the passion for the Girl-Child

in particular and the ladies folk in general. LEA is a global organization meant to

have representatives and members all over the world. Looking at the vast majority

of NGO's we have around us, we noticed enough attention was been paid to

HIV/AIDS, CANCER and all other deadly diseases.

Little or no attention is accorded the issues of PAEDOPHILES, SEXUAL

ASSAULTS and FORCEFUL MARRIAGES. With the incessant rise in the cases of

sexual assaults on young girls by sex-starved men old enough to be their fathers,

brothers and uncles and alarming increase in the cases of rape and gang rape on our

streets, in our neighbourhood, in parties, in our campuses and even in our

secondary schools. Also, forceful and early marriages for children between the ages

of ten (10) and fourteen (14).

LEA knows that the root of diseases such as HIV/AIDS comes mostly from

the society ills mentioned above. In our own little way of helping our society and the

world at large, we are associating with the victims of forceful marriages, rape and

sexual abuse. Knowing fully well that most of the perpetrators of these heinous and

punishable acts, targets young, helpless and innocent females. LEA is standing up to

the responsibility of helping victims to live a normal life free of societal stigma and

also, protecting the non-victims from becoming one.

To these responsibilities is LEA obliged and will in no way deviate from the

original vision and mission.
