Hilda Baci, a chef and holder of the Guinness World Record, has donated N2 million to organizations who are fighting for justice for Elizabeth Ochanya Ogbanje, 13, in this case.
Remember how Ogbanje’s guardians raped her for years before she passed away in 2018? She emphasized the need to support live survivors who are still recovering from comparable trauma by describing Ochanya as a girl who should have been safe and protected but was let down by those tasked with looking after her.
“A 13-year-old girl who should have been safe, loved, and protected was instead failed by the very people meant to guard her.
“As I read through her story, I couldn’t stop thinking about how many girls carry wounds like hers and are still here today, trying to find their way back to wholeness”, she wrote on Instagram.
Baci announced the pledge would be split between two credible NGOs working with r3pe and abuse survivors, selected with public input.
“To support that cause, I’m pledging N2,000,000 to organisations working with r3pe and s3xual abuse survivors
“I’d love for you to help me choose two trusted NGOs to receive this donation. Drop your nominations in the comments or tag them below so my team and I can review and reach out directly,” she said.
She also encouraged contributions to an ongoing GoFundMe campaign advancing the legal process and urged those unable to donate financially to amplify the cause with their voices.
“Every contribution helps move the legal process forward and strengthens the fight for justice. And if you can’t give financially, that’s okay you can still lend your voice”, she added.
She framed the effort as a collective stand for justice and compassion, noting that securing justice for Ochanya strengthens others enduring similar pain.
“Honoring her memory means doing more than posting hashtags. It means showing up for those who are still here—making sure no one ever feels alone in their pain again,” she added.
Rape is a serious violation of human rights and a grave crime that causes profound physical and emotional trauma. It is important to stand against all forms of sexual violence and to promote respect, consent, and dignity for everyone.
Saying no to rape means raising awareness, supporting survivors, and advocating for a society where everyone is safe and protected from s*xual abuse.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
