Plans are underway by the new National Executive Committee of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) to build an ultramodern shelter for victims of gender-based violence (GBV) in Abuja.

The Country President, who doubles as International Vice President of the organisation, Amina Agbaje, who disclosed this in Abuja at the weekend, explained that the shelter is a one-stop-shop that will provide not just shelter for victims of gender-based violence but will include courtroom and other facilities.

According to the FIDA chief, a shelter for victims of gender-based violence became necessary to enhance speedy dispensation of justice and guarantee safety and comfort for victims. So, our focus is to be able to build a befitting shelter that has a courtroom, witness box, accommodation and facilities that can be a safe home for women, who are facing gender-based violence,” she said.
