Aisha Buhari, wife of the President, has urged government at all levels in the country to enforce the law on rape in order to protect women and children.

Aisha stated this when she received some staff of the Ministry of Women Affairs, United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, UNICEF, and National Population Commission, led by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Ezekiel Oyemomi, who came to brief her on the plan to launch an action to end violence against children, slated for 15 September.

The President’s wife said it had become necessary for government and international organizations 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 learning. These include sexual harassment and assaults of female students by lecturers as a result of lack of laws and appropriate actions against the perpetrators.

“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 explained.

“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,” Aisha noted, adding that “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.”

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 increasingly disturbing...

It's [size=20pt]LadyF[/size] again

Am in support of this. The issue of Rape in Nigeria is becoming alarming.

Death Penalty is what will stop it in this country.

NwaNimo1:
she should be campaigning against underage weddings and sex that's rife in the North.

suspect.

Mama peace must hear this, and learn from her!

Rapists should be castrated at least if someone is used as a scapegoat others will learn

The best punishment should be cutting off their third leg
