Today we have got a 13years old orphan girl (lost her father) child who has narrated a story to Ronald a caregiver (VCM Administrator) after being defiled and raped by her step daddy one month ago. This poor girl was seen by the neighbors in too much pain as she couldn’t walk properly and with a strong odor (smell) and they took her Ronald at God’s Village.
“‘I was asleep that night and when I woke up, I found my step father on top of me’ says Sharifah crying and in deep much pain. ‘When he (step father) had that I was awake, he held my mouth with his hands so I couldn’t make an alarm. When he was done using me, that’s when he got off my mouth. But I was in too much pain and seeing blood, I was so much terrified but one thing he told me was to keep quiet and not to tell anyone else because if I do, he told me he would kill me and take me on streets, stay alone, be abandoned and leave even my mother. Sharifah narrates more “even though I was told to keep quiet, but I told my mother, who cried and her too told me not to tell anyone else because she didn’t want her man to chess me away from home.”
Now immediately today after Ronald getting that story from her, he took Sharifah to Harriet (God’s Village caregiver & nurse); Harriet gave us a report after checking her. And the report is that she saw pus coming out of her private parts and a strong odor also.
Now as Vangrace Compassion Ministries’ Core responsibility to help the poor communities that we serve together with such children, we have taken a step forward and now taking the poor girl to police and then afterwards to Hospital for Proper Check Up and then after all that is done we are to request the police for full custody of the girl for security and her wellbeing here at God’s Village.
Automatically all possible ways to arrest that step father and also Vangrace Compassion Ministries’ full custody of the girl has to be our number one priority.
Many children mostly young girls suffer a lot especially those that stay with their step fathers. They face rejection, not being sent to school and some are being raped by their step fathers. Because of fear, 98% of such children keep quite after being tormented by their step fathers and only 2% of such children will take a step out and report such incidents to the police or their neighbors.
Stand with us as we take a step of helping such children like Sharifa Nabuuma.
