The wives of the Ogun and Oyo state governors on Tuesday reiterated the need for the society to be committed to ensuring the increase in rate of domestic violence is nipped, emphasising the need to put more focus on empowering survivors of domestic violence.
Mrs Bamidele Abiodun and her Oyo state counterpart, Mrs Tamunominini Makinde, made the call in Ibadan during the official launch of a nongovernmental, women-based organisation, the Women in Shelter Environment, (W.I.S.E), adding that Violence has become a menace that needs to be tackled.
That domestic violence seems to be on the rise across the world is an incontrovertible fact with survivors finding it difficult to lead normal lives. This is the basis for the creation of W.I.S.E by a Nigerian living abroad, Hon. Olamide Talabi Davies, to protect the rights of survivors of domestic violence in Oyo state.
