Legal Service

Legal Counselling

We provide legal advice and guidance to persons and organizations, particularly regarding the breach of children’s rights and responsibilities in Nigeria. This applies to children in conflict/contact with the law, caregivers and families of child victims/survivors and other organizations providing services to Children.

Referral/ Case Management

We make prompt referrals to appropriate agencies, services and networks on cases of abuse of children, adolescents and youth and effectively follow up on referred cases to ensure that they receive the best services and necessary support.

Legal Education/Literacy

We sensitize on the relevant laws that protect children and youth in Nigeria through our online platforms and capacity building trainings. This is usually targeted towards teachers, schools, non-governmental organizations, government officials, online space, communities, and other institutions that deal directly or indirectly with children and youth

Legal Research/Publication

We identify and analyse relevant laws on protecting children and youth in Nigeria. The research results are published to add to knowledge and enlighten the general public on the rights of children/ youth and the legal consequences of any breach of their rights.

Policy Advocacy

We review existing laws, provide technical support to inform policy deliberations and monitor and analyse legislative and regulatory developments.

Other Legal Services

We offer other legal services, including help with fostering and adoption and legal support/aid to partners.

In child protection, we talk about participation — but rarely about what happens next.
According to the ACERWC Guidelines, meaningful child participation includes:

-Giving feedback on how a child’s views were used
-Ensuring children feel seen, heard, and valued

According to the ACERWC Guidelines, meaningful participation is a spectrum.

Yet, in many spaces, we still confuse performance with power.
Real participation means:

- Giving children access to information
- Ensuring their views are taken seriously

The ACERWC Guidelines on Child Participation provide a roadmap for how governments, educators, civil society, and traditional leaders can create environments where children are seen, heard, and respected.

Redefining Masculinity: The Role of Traditional and Religious Leaders

Toxic masculinity is not just a gender issue — it's a leadership issue.
In many societies, traditional and faith leaders hold the cultural microphone. Their influence can normalize harm or inspire healing.
