As the world celebrates this year’s International Women’s Day, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, has expressed the commitment of Nigeria towards ensuring an end to gender-based violence in the country.
He said the Federal Government has focused significant attention on the issue of sexual and gender-based violence and was working towards the establishment of specialised courts and judicial divisions focused on sexual and gender-based violence.
A statement by Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Office of the AGF, Dr Umar Gwandu, yesterday, said Malami spoke at a virtual session on “Special Event on Gender Dimensions of Criminal Justice Responses to Terrorism,” organised by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime, UNODC.
