My children are forced to hawk in the streets exposing them to dangers of child abuse. I have no choice since I need them to support the income generation of the family. I can not protect them from obvious abuses in the street. I Therefore I appeal to the Government to grant this noble request to empower poor widows to take care of their children and protect them from avoidable child abuses.

The widows of Nigeria has been neglected for so long, bartterd and abused by both men in high places and the society. I humbly plead to the govt to adhere to the cries of the widows in Nigeria, and this can be done by establishing a commission for widows and enact a National law for the protection of the right of the widows.
