A Nigerian child rights group, Jose Foundation, has launched an app, Stop CSE, to aid the fight against child sexual exploitation. The app is available for iOS and Android devices.
According to the group, users of the app can use it to report abuses on victims. It was developed by Jose Foundation and partners.
The President of Jose Foundation, Prince Martins Abhulimhen, said the tool has become imperative in view of the high prevalence of child sexual molestations reported in several parts of the world and Nigeria in particular. He added that the app would be useful in overcoming the culture of silence and shame that is taken away attention from the heinous crime against innocent children, some of which are victims of their parents, relatives, religious leaders and others.
According to him, children and parents can download and use it to report cases to the Foundation, the Police and other relevant authority.
