How I Was Raped When I went To Look For Cassava-Victim of Abuse

 

A young lady named Babara Kim, a 20 year old victim of rape, carries a three months old Pregnancy. Her village in Guma local government area of Benue state, was sacked by suspected terrorists last year.

Babara, who lives with her grandmother at an internally displaced persons Camp (IDP), revealed that when she returned to the farm in March this year to harvest Cassava, she was raped by two boys. She noted that she didn’t report the matter to anyone because she didn’t know who to report to.

Babara revealed that she returned to the farm because there was nothing for them to eat. She also noted that she didn’t take any treatment because she wasn’t aware of what to do.

Babara’s story happens to be among the numerous accounts of rape in Benue state, who have been chased out of their villages and are now left to fend for Theirselves and their families at an internally displaced persons Camp.

The victims while have been chased out of their ancestral homes and now lives in government designated camps, on their attempt to return to the farm are often targets of sexual abuse.

We hope that the government would really look into the sexual harassment of women in IDP camps.
