The Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha
Muhammadu, has urged government at all
levels to enforce the law on rape, to protect
women and children in the country.

Aisha stated this when she received some staff
of the Ministry of Women Affairs, UNICEF and
National Population Commission, led by the
Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr Ezekiel
Oyemomi.

The staff came to brief her on the plan to
launch an action to end violence against
children, slated for Sept. 15.

“We are aware of the national law on rape
passed this year on May 25 (Prohibition Act
2015) which states imprisonment ranging from
12 to 20 years.

“I advocate for the enforcement of this law at
all levels. Unfortunately, children are the most
vulnerable, being exploited at different stages
of their lives,’’ she stressed.
Aisha said it had become necessary for
government and international organisations to
pursue policies and laws to protect women and
children against the act.

“A number of cases on violence against women
and children are being reported on daily basis
with the most alarming one of those happening
in higher institutions of leaning.

“These include sexual harassment and assaults
of female students by lecturers as a result of
lack of laws and appropriate actions against the
perpetrators,’’ Aisha lamented.

She said the issue of the violence against
children was dear to her heart and would do
every possible to salvage the disadvantage
situation of children and other vulnerable
groups in the society.

“It is my hope that with this renewed
commitment by agencies, necessary steps will
be taken to end violence against women and
children particularly where this is rampant.’’

She wanted the domestication of the law to end
the act in Nigeria and Africa in general.
Briefing the president’s wife on the plan,
Oyemomi said Nigeria had conducted the
survey in collaboration with UNICEF, National
Population Commission and Centre for
Development of Disease Control and Prevention
through the National Planning Commission.

He said so far only eight countries had
conducted survey on violence against women in
the world, including five countries in Africa and
Nigeria was first to have done survey in West
Africa.

He said that 60 per cent of children was usually
exposed to one form of violence or the other
before the age of 18 years.
He said the violence included physical, sexual
and emotional violence.

He said the survey conducted across the
country had showed that the perpetrators were
often family members, in the schools,
environment and the communities.

He said one out of 10 children would have
experienced violence before the age of five and
only six per cent of the effected children
revealed what happened to them.

He stressed the need to rehabilitate the victims
had become necessary so that they would not
become the perpetrators of the act.
He said that when they did not have this, they
might think of committing suicide, having a lot
of distress, going back to drug and smoking
because of the trauma in them.

He said government was committed to
protecting the children and women as well as
punishing the perpetrators.
Oyemomi said the ministry had dedicated a
year to end the violence and would review it
after.

The representative of UNICEF, Mrs Rachael
Harvey, said there was need to have powerful
voices to end violence against children.

She said that NGOs, CBOs, faith-based
organisations, community leaders, traditional
leaders, among others, must be part of strong
voices to end the act.

She urged the wife of the president to be part
of the strong voice to end the act in the
country.

Very good. It's long overdue. But wait o, imprisonment isn't enough. We need to inflict serious bodily harm too....maybe damage their organs, then castration. The rate is becoming disturbing.

It should b a life time jail or death penalty self

Not much to say just "Rapists beware"

and what if the rspe does not stop what then?

The laws have since been enforced...which one she dey talk of now?

Aisha should be mindful of what she says on rape.

As far as I'm concerned, PA Buhari sleeping with her at a tender age of ten or so is more devilish than rape.

Aisha stated this when she received some staff of the Ministry of Women Affairs, UNICEF and National Population Commission, led by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr Ezekiel Oyemomi.

hm, so are they saying Nigerian men are rapists and pedophiles (since the 419 scamming label is no longer in vogue as immigration controls have tightened). . . . . . . . . . . . . .in addition, so there's nothing else to discuss about Nigeria besides rape. . . . . . . . . . . .

hm, lord have mercy.
