 And the chairman, House of Representatives, Press Corps, Comrade Grace, E.K. has chaired lawmakers at the national and state levels to prioritize the establishment of sexual offenses caught across the country as part of measures to tackle the menace of sexual abuse. Comrade E.K. made the suggestion that the unveiling of the book titled Tears from the Grave in honor of late Karen Aqqaqa, a rape victim in Abuja on Wednesday. Plus the E.K. Comrade Grace E.K. says the creation of a special court for sexual offenders across the country modelled after the successful initiators in Lagos and other parts of the world will not only help to reduce incidences of rape and other sexual offenses but will also help to bring closure for affected families. Every day we are confronted with distressing account of girls and women enduring unspeakable trauma due to sexual abuse of violence. What is even more disturbing or worrisome is the growing trend of perpetrators committing murder, killing their victims after this heinous act, an act that must be condemned in the strongest times. SGVV knows no boundaries, it transcends age, ethnicity, color, socioeconomic status and geography. While the list of victims in Nigeria is extensive, many cases remain unreported due to fear of stigma and inadequate support system. But despite existing legislation imposing civil penalties for persons found guilty, persecution rates remain low. Victims often shy away from reporting due to fear of stigma and legal forces. Karen's mom, thanks for your residence. Not just for Karen but for other children in Nigeria, who have been victims and who probably might be victims in the future. You have stood on bravery. You have remained committed not just because of your own loss but because you have humanity at heart and that's what you've been doing. When this happened, I remember we released a research, a harrowing journey, which shows the harrowing journey for survivors, for victims and their families. And that's why I asked what character can we see the nation has. When this case happened, what I would have assumed is for the nation to stand up and say never again. Karen is a Nigerian. If she's not a Nigerian, she lives here. That means the state ordered that duty, that obligation to protect her for which we have failed. The author of the book, Lemi Bebe, who is also the Executive Director of Men Against Rape Foundation, says, the essence of the book is to provoke thoughts and get everyone to discourse the uncomfortable issue and seek solutions to the unending issues surrounding rape and autofarms of sexual violence in the country. When I got into the battle to seek justice for 13-year-old Elizabeth or child of Wendy also, who was seriously raped and sodomized and dropped by a man and his son, the Osband and the Osson. We promise that these two people will not be mere statistics that will continually remind the nation of their cases. Late Karen's mother, Mrs. Vivian Apaga, who is still living through the pain of losing her daughter, expressed gratitude to everyone who have continued to support her in her travail. Seventeen years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful daughter. I named her on the door. God had been good to me, so I said, God is good. Karen Harford and he has filled my cup after two boys I had a girl and I was truly contented. The same cup I handed over to caregivers returned to me shattered beyond repress. We are here today to remember Karen, my friend, my confidant, my daughter. It's been two years of an unending storm. But I thank God because I've had friends that have held my hand through the darkness called grief. Tears from the Grave is a book aimed at reawakening the consciousness of government at all levels and Nigerians in general to collective the fight against rape, the hydro-headed monster that is threatening the moral fabrics of our society.
