LGCF is an independent, non-partisan organization dedicated to building a society where social justice and human rights are upheld for all.

Throwback to LGCF's outreach to a remote community

Throwback to LGCF's outreach to a remote community in Gwagwalada, Abuja, on 5 September 2024, as part of our Build Safe Communities for Women and Girls initiative.

During the outreach, the LGCF team engaged community members in conversations on preventing and responding to gender-based violence (GBV), shedding light on the realities of rape, domestic violence, and other forms of GBV. Participants were equipped with knowledge on prevention, reporting mechanisms, and available support services to help build safer and more informed communities.

The journey to ending GBV continues one community, one conversation, and one voice at a time.

Highlights from the Sensitization Workshop for Law

Highlights from the Sensitization Workshop for Law Enforcement Officers on Protest Management held on 15th July, where participants engaged in practical sessions on human rights standards and rights-based approaches to protest and crowd management.

Yesterday, Legend Golden Care Foundation held its third Sensitization Workshop for Law Enforcement Officers on Protest Management, providing a platform for officers to strengthen their knowledge of human rights-based approaches to protest and crowd management.

The event commenced with an introductory remark by LGCF's Programs Manager, Patricia Akor, who welcomed participants and highlighted the importance of rights-based policing, followed by a presentation by Mrs. Ogechi Ogu on Human Rights Standards and Principles in the Management of Protests.

As part of the training, participants engaged with a protest management documentary and an accompanying workbook session facilitated by LGCF's Programs Officer, Ene Sarah Ogwuche, both developed with the support of the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims @irct_global These practical resources encouraged dialogue, and the application of human rights principles to real-life policing situations.

The workshop was very interactive, with officers actively contributing to discussions and sharing experiences from the field while reflecting on the importance of ensuring that protest management is carried out lawfully, professionally, and with respect for the rights and dignity of every individual.

At LGCF, we remain committed to strengthening the capacity of law enforcement officers to promote professional, rights-based policing that safeguards the dignity, safety, and fundamental rights of every individual.

Learning is a journey, and every experience adds something valuable.

As part of the ongoing Comms4Dev Internship Programme, our interns were asked on the skills they have developed, how the programme has shaped their career aspirations, and the role of media and communications in advancing human rights advocacy.

By combining theory with practical experience, the programme is equipping them with the tools to leverage media and communication for development, strengthen advocacy efforts, and inspire positive change in their communities.

At Legend Golden Care Foundation, we believe in the power of Communications for Development to inspire change. Through initiatives like the Comms4Dev Internship Programme, we continue to equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and experience to become effective communicators and advocates for positive social impact.

Legend Golden Care Foundation (LGCF) joined a multi-stakeholder monitoring visit to correctional and juvenile facilities in Maiduguri, Borno State, alongside representatives of the Judiciary, @nhrcnigeria, @ncos_corrections and the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria.

As part of LGCF's ongoing commitment to advancing access to justice, the visit highlighted our dedication to protecting the rights of vulnerable persons and supporting a justice system that is fair, humane, and rehabilitative.

During our engagement, the team interacted with awaiting trial inmates to better understand the challenges affecting timely access to justice and legal representation. We also visited a juvenile care facility, where discussions focused on the importance of rehabilitation, education, psychosocial support, and vocational training for children who come into conflict with the law.

The visit reaffirmed the need for stronger collaboration among justice sector institutions to ensure that children are treated in accordance with child protection principles and that rehabilitation remains at the heart of juvenile justice. It also highlighted the importance of timely legal support for persons awaiting trial and the continued implementation of measures that promote a more efficient and responsive justice system.

Every number represents a person whose rights deserve protection.

Over the past few weeks, through the Police Duty Solicitor Scheme (PDSS), LGCF has remained committed to promoting access to justice by providing legal assistance to detainees in need. Our latest PDSS update highlights the impact of these interventions and the lives reached over the past few weeks.

Through every case, we remain committed to advocating for fair treatment, expanding access to legal representation, and protecting the human rights of all.

Today, Legend Golden Care Foundation (LGCF), with support from Amnesty International Nigeria @ainigeria, hosted a press conference to commemorate the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, observed annually on 26 June.

Themed "Enhancing Accountability Mechanisms for Torture Prevention in Nigeria: Advancing Justice and Rehabilitation for Survivors," the event brought together Mrs. Kanayo Olisa Metuh, Executive Director of LGCF; Mr. Maurice Chukwu, representing the Country Director of Amnesty International Nigeria; Mrs. Ogechi Ogu, Executive Director of the Public Awareness on Rights and Rehabilitation of Vulnerable Persons Initiative (PAR-RVPI); Mrs. Angela Uwandu, Country Director of Avocats Sans Frontières (ASF) @asf_france_nigeria; representatives of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), the Federal Ministry of Justice, and members of the media.

In her opening remarks, Mrs. Kanayo Olisa-Metuh described torture as a grave violation of human dignity with devastating physical, psychological, and social consequences. While acknowledging Nigeria's legal commitments, including the Anti-Torture Act 2017, she noted that meaningful accountability remains limited, with no successful prosecution recorded under the Act.

Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the Country Director of Amnesty International Nigeria, Mr. Maurice Chukwu called for stronger accountability, the prosecution of perpetrators of torture, and the effective implementation of Nigeria's anti-torture laws.

The event concluded with an interactive question-and-answer session with participants and the media, reinforcing the collective commitment to preventing torture and advancing justice and rehabilitation for survivors.

Ahead of the June 26 International Day in Support

Ahead of the June 26 International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, we are addressing common misconceptions about torture and shedding light on the realities survivors of torture face.

Torture is not limited to physical violence. It can take many forms, including threats, humiliation, isolation, and other acts that cause severe physical and psychological trauma.

By debunking these myths, we encourage greater awareness, accountability, and support for survivors.

As we build towards June 26, let us stand in solidarity to promote human dignity, uphold justice, and work towards a world free from torture.

Torture thrives in silence. Awareness is the first step to ending it.

With support from @ainigeria, LGCF took the campaign against torture to Karu Market, Abuja, engaging community members on their rights and the support available to survivors of torture.

This outreach is part of our activities leading up to June 26, the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.

And we're not stopping here. More awareness and advocacy activities are lined up as we continue to stand with survivors and push for a society free from torture.

Stay with us on this journey.

As part of activities leading up to the Internatio

As part of activities leading up to the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture on June 26, Legend Golden Care Foundation (LGCF), with support from Amnesty International, carried out a community sensitization outreach at Karu Market, Abuja.

The outreach provided an opportunity to engage directly with traders, market women, youth, and other members of the community on the issue of torture, human rights, and access to support services for survivors.

During the sensitization, we educated them on their fundamental rights, the various forms torture can take, and the harmful physical and psychological effects it has on victims.

Many people are unaware that torture extends beyond physical abuse. Acts such as prolonged detention without trial, threats, intimidation and other forms of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment can also amount to torture and leave lasting impacts on individuals and communities.

Through conversations and awareness materials, we encouraged community members to speak up against torture, support survivors, and promote respect for human dignity.

As we mark this year's International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, we reaffirm our commitment to creating awareness and supporting survivors of torture.

Ahead of the June 26 International Day in Support

Ahead of the June 26 International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, it is important to remember that torture doesn’t always leave visible scars.

Torture can take many forms, including:

* Prolonged solitary confinement
* Sleep deprivation
* Stripping detainees naked
* Threats against a detainee’s family
* Indefinite pretrial detention
* Denial of food, water or medical care

These acts can cause severe physical, psychological, and emotional harm, even when there are no visible injuries.

The Anti-Torture Act 2017 serves as a guide for preventing, prohibiting and addressing torture in Nigeria while protecting the rights of every individual.

Torture is never justified. Human dignity must always be protected.
