The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun has approved the expansion of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) desk offices to all police divisions across Nigeria, ABN TV reports.

This move is aimed at strengthening the fight against gender-based violence and ensuring easier access to justice for victims.

Previously limited to zonal and state commands, the GBV desks will now be present at the divisional level, providing prompt and specialized attention to cases of violence against women, children, and other vulnerable individuals. The IGP has also directed the appointment of qualified officers as GBV desk officers in all divisions. These officers will undergo specialized training to enhance their ability to handle GBV cases professionally and sensitively.

In addition to their role in addressing GBV cases, the newly appointed desk officers will oversee the Juvenile, Women, and Children (JWC) section in their respective divisions. This integration is expected to create a more comprehensive and victim-centered approach to handling cases of abuse and violence.

The Nigeria Police Force has reiterated its commitment to protecting the rights of victims and ensuring swift justice delivery. The expansion of the GBV desk offices is seen as a proactive response to the increasing need for specialized interventions in addressing gender-based violence.

Good move

My friend Chinedu said the same thing this morning..He said they should be tagging Trump , Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu of what's happening to the Igbos in Lagos and South East, Nigeria in general so that Trump will get angry and sign an executive order to relocate all Igbos to Israel and US immediately just as he did for the white South Africans....funny guy indeed 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Was this not what the former Minister of women affairs was trying to pursue using her ministry?

Welcome development though
Let's see how it is implemented
Because in all honesty, GBV is deeply entrenched in some cultures and traditions.

This man still has the constitutional rights to be dishing out orders?

Anyway it's about effectiveness not just giving out order and I suggest all the officers should be female to avoid cases of the kpekus hungry police men talking advantage of those women and beautiful girls that may have been taken advantage of and in the course of reporting, the officers take more advantage as a condition for compliance

Do we also have where we can report corrupt police officers.?
The IGP should have a special desk at every police division for that

Good move

This is not the right approach to domestic violence.

Domestic violence is perpetrated by both genders, especially by women in our present day Nigeria where knife stabbing is now the preferred defence excuse. GBV desk in Police divisions should not be make women saints who can do no evil, while portraying men as devils.

This skewed approach we are copying from the West will only lead to more breakdowns of marriages and relationships between men and women

So you want women to be the handler of a case women stereotype themselves to always be the victims.

where will balance come from,

Illegal IGP

With due respect sir. Even in USA DEI office that promotes all these balance balance has been closed by trump on day one of his presidency

This is the first sane comment, its very pathetic a society where they don't even believe a gender can initiate violence is outrageous. Violence isn't gender specific, women initiate violence against children that isn't theirs, women also initiate violence against men but somehow men aren't even in the equation of things.

The last incident at Unizk, assuming it was a male student that assaulted a female lecturer, that student in addition to the expulsion will be prosecuted for aggravated assault in a court of competent jurisdiction but somehow its a woman no one is talking about prosecution to serve as deterrence to others who will want to repeat such stupid feats.

Everyone matters, the men are also vulnerable like others

Diversity and inclusion has absolutely nothing to do with gender-based violence. You also should learn to think reasonably - we do what is right for us not what others are doing.

Both you and he are just silly. If a man is assaulted, what stops him from reporting the case like any other?

The rationale for providing expedited and enhanced protection for women and children is the fact that statistically, men are more likely to physically abuse women, and physiologically, a women are far likelier to get seriously hurt by men rather than vice versa.

Again, if you have a woman who abuses you, you have every right to walk into a police state and seek justice too.

Why must it be Gender Based?..... violence against women...children and others. Children come under gender? ...and which be others? ...gays and lesbians and queers and transgenders? Why not a simple Abuse and Violence desk? Are we picking up the Biden garbage Trump dumped?
