The Daughters of St. Paul of Abuja held a book presentation to express their commitment to promoting awareness of the problem of abuse in its various forms. The book, entitled Understanding and Overcoming Abuse, was written by two Daughters of St. Paul: Sr. Oluwakemi Akinleye and Sr. Angela Killeo. The presentation took place in the FSP book center in Abuja and was attended by a large group of people.

The text presents the sad reality of abuse in the Church and society–a widespread problem that cannot be ignored. In fact, the frequency with which various forms of abuse are taking place around the world is alarming.

The book was presented and discussed by two experts: Dr. Charles Allah and Dr. Cordelia Oris. The meeting proved to be a special time of formation, information and relaxation.

Some of the members of the audience offered financial contributions to help distribute 1,000 copies of the book to high schools and parish youth groups.
