A United Kingdom democracy strengthening organisation, Westminster Foundation for Democracy , yesterday called on government at all levels to provide a safe and conducive environment that will aid the growth of Nigeria children and protect them from neglect, abuse, violence, and exploitation.
His words: “This is a continuation of the efforts at advancing the process of implementation. The participants here today are from the various and relevant agencies that are going to be working together to implement not only the VAPP law but the draft Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy when it is eventually assented by Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
Speaking on the increasing spate of violence against women and girls, Olorunmola said: “Specific to Ondo State, we have been implementing what is called policy growth which was designed to support and promote the inclusion of women and girls as well as their protection and by extension, protection of vulnerable people. We’ve been effecting the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law which Ondo State passed in 2021, joining the elites of states that have passed the law.
“We have worked closely with OSSA-GBV, reaching out to other key stakeholders to develop the plan which was regarded as timely, given the fact that the state has been before now, working to develop a safeguarding policy but somehow along the line, the process was stopped. So, what we are doing is to keep up the process that started before.
On his part, Executive Director of Ondo State Agency Against Gender-Based Violence , Barrister Bolanle Afolabi, stated that the parley would enhance the sensitisation programme already started by her agency.
