To curb the scourge of rape in the country, the Citizens Centre for Integrated Development and Social Rights (CCIDESOR) has set motion in place to partner the State Government to domesticate the Act in the state.
This is coming at the heels of the incessant rape cases in the country in the last weeks, especially that domesticating the Violence Against Persons Prohibition law in the state will help to check the occurrence of the incident.
The law which was passed into law in 2013 and 2015 by House of Reps and Senate respectively and signed in 2015 will check the excesses of potential offenders and preserve the sanctity of the vulnerable and check gender based violence in the country.
CCIDESOR will partner the State Government, the Ministry Gender and Vulnerable Groups, Ministry of Health and other agencies to ensure that the law becomes effective in the state.
