LACK OF A MALE CHILD RESULTED TO BATTERING AND OTHER ILL TREATMENT

Chioma Nduka, a married woman with four (4) daughters reported constant battering by her husband because she didn’t have a male child. Her husband stopped paying the house rent, feeding as well as the children’s school fees because the children are girls.

The situation got worse and it was reported by a concerned neighbor to the Foundation. We reported the matter at Ayobo Police Station and the husband was to be charged to court but the wife pleaded on his behalf and he signed an undertaking with the Foundation and the Police Station never to beat her again and to be a responsible father and husband.

The Foundation paid off the owed house rent and supported the family in many various ways . Today one of them is a serving graduate and the woman is into domestic services.
