As part of efforts to curb rising cases of sexual abuse and gender-based violence within the state, the Oyo State Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Response Team (Oyo SGBVRT) has emphasised the need for community participation and mobilisation as an effective means of reducing incidence of violence within the society. YEJIDE GBENGA-OGUNDARE reports.
Gender-based violence especially violence against women and girls (VAWG), has been labelled as a public health problem that constitutes the highest form of human rights violations in today’s world. In Nigeria, there are numerous cases of such violence reported on a daily basis, while many go unreported. And Oyo State is not an exception.
