Mrs Chioma Uzodinma, First Lady of Imo State, has disclosed that Governor Hope Uzodinma will soon sign the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) 2021 Bill into law.
She made the disclosure in Owerri, the state capital, during the event held to mark this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
Mrs. Uzodimma, who was represented at the event by Mrs. Nkechi Ugwu, Commissioner for Women Affairs, said gender-based violence occurs in the form of physical, sexual, psychological or economic, or harmful practices such as child marriage among others.
“This is a time to reflect on how gender-based violence is affecting our society and what we can do to end it,” she said, adding that the law will protect all, especially the girl-child and women, from all strains of violence.
Also speaking Hon. Uju Onwudiwe, member representing Njaba State Constituency in the Imo State House of Assembly, expressed optimism that the governor would soon assent to the VAPP bill.
She explained that although VAPP was for everyone, it is more particular about violence against the girl-child, adding that so many things were inherent in the bill.
Earlier, a rape survivor and author, Ishiaku Ada Fatima; Imo State Chairman of the International Federation of Women Lawyers FIDA, Chioma Iwueze; and Chair Person of the National Association Women of Journalists, NAWOJ, Imo State Chapter, Dr Dorothy Nnaji; respectively discussed the various ways through which the menace can be curbed in society.
Also the female student leaders in Imo State from the different institutions led by Comr. Ezugwu Christiana, were present to grace the occasion and make positive contributions
