A NON-GOVERNMENTAL Organisation , Women Initiative for Leadership Strategy and Innovation in Africa , has released a report on gender-based violence response in Nigeria.
The NGO’s Executive Director, Chinwe Onyeukwu, who made the disclosure at the weekend, said: “Following the rise in fatal cases of sexual and domestic violence against women and girls across the country during the four-month COVID-19 lockdown, the Federal Government and the state governors, under the aegis of Nigeria Governors’ Forum , declared a state of emergency on sexual and gender-based violence in June 2020.
“Since then, few studies have been carried out to map and assess the level of implementation of these commitments and the milestones achieved by various states in the country on gender-based violence protection and child rights interventions,” she added.
