OUR IMPACT
The reason we exist
A well-known 60-year-old musician, had raped our 13-year-old daughter.
LIZADEEL obtained a 5-year prison sentence at the end of the trial.
The Minister of Justice, 17 months later, granted him parole. On the sidelines of this,
LIZADEEL will organize a press conference during which, she asked the resignation of the minister and the compensation of the girl. Some time later, our daughter will find good cause. It was in this great revolution
never succeeded by another NGO except LIZADEEL
that the minister was obliged to take several measures to strengthen the law on sexual violence.

I would like to remain anonymous and not go into too much detail. I am a religious sister, at that time I started my career. One evening when I returned from the evening Mass, I had the great regret of being
intercepted by 7 BANDITS commonly called "KULUNA" who one after the other raped me. Distraught, I went to
LIZADEEL and they supported me by putting at my disposal two lawyers. the four brigands of them were arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Despite the sessions at the psychologist I still could not overcome the psychological pain until I learned that the executioners were sentenced to 20 years in prison. This allowed me to get out of the trauma in which I was cloistered and for that I will never stop to thank the LIZADEEL.

My 14 year old daughter was kidnapped by a miller and taken for wife for 24 months, she even gave birth to a child following the repeated rape and was expecting a second child.
The case was brought to the attention of the Gombe prosecutor. For more than a year, the magistrate could not trail the case. After many and long sorrows of lack of justice for our dear daughter,
we were advised by acquaintances to seek help from
LIZADEEL.
As soon as
LIZADEEL was involved, the magistrate open a trial a day later. The perpetrator and his accomplice were convicted and we recovered the only thing that reminded us of our dear daughter, "her child" now 6
years old.Thanks to the
LIZADEEL TOOK CARE OF US.

She was recognized by an old neighbor at the place where the kidnapped had sequestered her, she contacted us to inform of what she had seen. The kidnapper had decided to terminate the pregnancy and took him to a small clinic nearby. Unfortunately under qualifying to perform this surgical operation, the nurse will open the belly to dislodge the womb (uterus). My daughter, whom I loved so much, died in this single, sad operating room. That's what makes me suffer the most.
The next day, when my wife and I, accompanied by the police, we went to the place indicated by the neighbor, the scene was unbearable. We found our child's body on the floor, lifeless.
The case was brought to the attention of the Gombe prosecutor. For more than a year, the magistrate could not fix the file. After many and long sorrows of lack of justice for our dear daughter, we were advised by acquaintances to seek help from LIZADEEL.
As soon as LIZADEEL was seized, the magistrate fixed the file a day later. The author and his accomplice were convicted and we recovered the only thing that reminded us of our dear daughter, "her child" now 6 years old.Thanks to the Lizadeel who showed us at least a hint of happiness
