An official of WRAHP, Ibukun Olapeju, said the abuse of women and children was becoming a big problem that required urgent action and government intervention.
“The alarming rate of SGBV especially on women and children shows that there is a need for education and protection of individuals against child abuse, sexual abuse, harassment, forced labor, domestic violence, rape, etc.
“There has been a lot of cases recently, which triggered this program and we are happy that we have the support of the EU-funded Rule of Law and Anti-corruption (RoLAC) program managed by the British Council in Nigeria,” she said.
