The United States of
America has invested
the sum of $15 million
in the fight against
Gender-based violence
(GBV) in Nigeria.
This was announced by
the Deputy Chief of
Mission, US Embassy,
Kathleen FitzGibbon,
while presenting a
keynote address during
the “MOMENTUM Country
and Global Leadership
Activity Launch” on
Tuesday in Abuja.

“This $15 million
investment will
strengthen Gender-
based violence response
mechanisms, help
communities transform
discriminatory gender
and social norms that
continue to subordinate
women and make them
vulnerable, and uphold
and defend women’s
health and human
rights.
“It will amplify women’s
voices and agency and
reduce their vulnerability
to violence,” FitzGibbon
said.
The “MOMENTUM country
and global leadership
activity”, administered
by the U.S. Agency for
International
Development, will work
to increase access to
services for survivors of
Gender-based violence
in Sokoto and Ebonyi
states, she said.
“Over the next five years,
USAID will work with
government and
institutions to address
primary contributors to
maternal mortality and
morbidity through the
prevention and
mitigation of the
consequences of
violence against women
and girls and drivers of
early and forced child
marriage,” FitzGibbon
added.
Prof Yemi Osibanjo,
Nigeria’s Vice President,
who officially launched
the programme, said the
government would
continue to condemn
Gender-Based Violence
(GBV), “so long as it
continues to impact
negatively on survivors,
victims, families, broader
society and economies
of Nations.”
He said President
Mohammadu Buhari had
directed the Inspector-
General of Police, Usman
Alkali Baba, to deal with
all perpetrators of GBV in
furtherance of the
declaration of Zero
tolerance to Rape and
other Gender-Based
Violence.https://dailytrust.com/us-donates-15m-to-fight-gender-based-violence-in-nigeria

Violence against women plus children is one of the most widespread, persistent and
devastating human rights violations in our
world today remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame
surrounding it.
Sex violence is becoming so rampant and
the government has to do something about
it i think castration would 've been the
better options for defaulters.
