Who We Are

At THS, we understand that child sexual abuse is a complex issue deeply rooted in the nigerian society. That’s why our approach is multifaceted—combining data, advocacy, education, and partnerships to ensure that every child in Nigeria is protected from sexual abuse.

“Data bridges the gap between perception and fact. Data is how we understand CSA in Nigeria.”
–  Founder, Chimenem Nsirim

  • Parents, educators, and caregivers are equipped to identify and prevent abuse.

Our Vision

We envision a Nigeria where every child is protected from sexual abuse through evidence-based prevention and intervention strategies.

We see a future where:

  • Every child grows up safe, free from exploitation and abuse.
  • Reliable data ensures informed policies that protect children.
  • Every school, household, and community is equipped with knowledge and resources to prevent CSA.
  • Every school, household, and community is equipped with knowledge and resources to prevent CSA.

Our Core Values

  • Integrity – We uphold ethical research standards to protect survivors.
  • Empowerment – We believe in giving a voice to those affected.
  • Collaboration – We work with policymakers, NGOs, and communities.
  • Action-Driven – Our data leads to real, measurable change.

Why We Exist

Child sexual abuse is a hidden crisis in Nigeria. Many cases go unreported due to fear, stigma, or lack of understanding of reporting structures. Survivors often face blame and rejection preventing them from speaking out.

Despite the alarming prevalence, there is little to no reliable data to drive interventions. Without data, CSA is ignored, and millions of children continue to suffer in silence.

That’s why THS was created—to uncover the truth and turn data into action. By gathering reliable information, we are equipping  educators, parents, children and communities with the tools needed to prevent, identify, and respond to CSA effectively.
