The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has vowed to take legal action against the Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, over an ex parte motion she filed before the Federal High Court in Niger State against the proposed marriage of 100 orphan girls in Niger State by the State Speaker of House of Assembly, Abdulmalik Sarkindaji.
Training programs for law enforcement officers, healthcare professionals, and social workers are crucial. Education and awareness facilitate early intervention and support for victims, ensuring they receive the assistance they need promptly. Government involvement is pivotal in providing hotlines, counseling services, and legal aid. These services, coordinated and funded by relevant ministries, offer comprehensive support to those in need.
I hope that by providing you with the following information, Minister Ohanenye, and others, you will gain a better understanding of the complexity of sexual misconduct. It is my belief that through education and awareness, we can collectively work towards making Nigeria a safer and more respectful place for everyone, with a particular emphasis on the well-being of women and girls.
