THE
SURVIVORS
A gripping drama of love, betrayal, and the unseen struggles within a broken home. A profound tale of family, faith, and the silent wars fought by the innocent.
The Campaign Against Child Abuse
Contextual Details
The campaign against child abuse was a pivotal part of the Akwa Ibom State government's broader response to international and domestic scrutiny regarding "child witches" and widespread child abandonment.
While the administration, led by Governor Godswill Akpabio, initiated legal action and child protection initiatives, serious concerns were raised about the enforcement of these laws and the welfare of children trapped in stigmatizing situations.
Educational Impact
Spearheaded by Her Excellency Mrs. Ekaette Unoma Akpabio's campaign, The Survivors explores this exact storyline. It dives deep into the horrific abandonment tied to the "child witch" stigma.
Approved in 2014 as an official literature text across primary schools, the book made immense impact on the ground level, and is now being digitized to reach a global scale.
"We cannot look away from the silent wars waged at home. Survival is not just staying alive; it is finding the light when abandoned in the dark."
