Akinseye
The Founder, Arise Foundation for Women, Youth and Family, Mrs. Joke Akinseye said empowering the youth acts as a potential to accelerate economic growth and continue the development of a nation.
She said this at the unveiling of a primary and secondary school built by the oragnisation in collaboration with friends for less privileged children in Mowe, Obafemi-Owode, Ogun State.
Akinseye said the three blocks of classrooms, a playing ground, laboratory, library, staff room and principal office were constructed because she believes in the power of education to end poverty. x
She added that it was the reason her Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) worked with her friends to give the children the education they need and fight the inequalities that stand in their way, especially the girl-child.
“Many people and much of the media have reported that the ICC has rejected the Uighurs’ ICC complaint,” Hudayar said. “However, that s not necessarily true.”
Hudayar says the complaint is still active. He and others just need to present evidence that China has also unlawfully arrested and detained Uighurs in Tajikistan and Cambodia, surrounding countries that do belong to the ICC.
They’re obtaining that evidence with the help of a powerful new group called the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, or IPAC.
Luke de Pulford, director of the anti-slavery nongovernmental organization, Arise Foundation, is acting as IPAC’s coordinator.
“I was actually quite hopeful when I saw the judgment because I thought, ‘OK, right. Well, if you re wanting more evidence of very severe crimes that have happened to Uighurs outside of China, then great. Well, we ve got that. Let s work on that. Pull that together.’”
