Today, on International , we remember that no human being is illegal. Every person deserves safety, dignity, and protection, no matter where they are — on land, at sea, or anywhere in between.

Tragically, many face danger, exploitation, or neglect while seeking a better life. Saving lives is not optional — it is a humanitarian responsibility.

Every day, Red Cross teams work tirelessly to reach the most vulnerable, providing aid, support, and protection to ensure that everyone can survive and thrive, no matter their journey.

Let’s stand together for a world where migrants are treated with compassion, respect, and care.

ACTION AT EMERGENCY 🚨

In any emergency, your safety comes first.
Before helping anyone, always check for danger — look around for traffic, fire, electrical hazards or anything that can harm you or others.
Once the scene is safe, you can check the casualty’s response, call for help, and begin first aid.

🚦 DRIVE TO STAY ALIVE! 🚦
This December, we are raising our voices again because road accidents remain one of the fastest killers in Nigeria.

According to FRSC records, over 5,000 people lost their lives in road crashes in 2023 alone. Thousands more were injured.
During the festive season, the numbers rise sharply due to overspeeding, long-distance travel, fatigue, and poor vehicle condition.

No family deserves to lose a loved one on the road.
As you travel this December, please:
✔ Drive at safe speeds
✔ Avoid distractions
✔ Do not drive tired or after drinking
✔ Ensure your vehicle is roadworthy

Your journey matters. Your life matters. Drive to stay alive. ❤️

🟥 WORLD AIDS DAY 2025
Today, we join the rest of the world to mark World AIDS Day with this year’s theme: “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response.”

At Red Cross Ekesh Detachment, we use this moment to stand with people living with HIV, encourage regular testing, and remind our community that stigma helps no one. HIV is not the end of life — support, care and correct information make all the difference.

Let’s keep talking, keep learning, and keep protecting one another. Together, we can build a healthier community where no one is left behind.

🌍 Did you know that 1 in 3 girls worldwide experience physical or sexual violence?

Physical or sexual violence includes any act that hurts someone’s body or forces them into sexual activity without consent. It can happen at home, at school, or in the community, and no one should have to face it.

At Red Cross Ekesh Detachment, we believe every girl and woman has the right to live safely and with dignity. We stand together to raise awareness, speak out, and protect those at risk.

Let’s condemn violence and fight to end it. 💪
