Kano and Kaduna states have established specialised courts to handle sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) cases, in a move aimed at ensuring swift justice for survivors.

The initiative, spearheaded by the Neem Foundation under the Prevent and Protect Project and funded by the Ford Foundation, seeks to fast-track legal proceedings and provide a more efficient and sensitive judicial process for victims.

“The establishment of designated GBV courts in our states of implementation is a significant step towards ensuring swift and fair justice for survivors,” said Minoe Duamwan, Senior Programme Officer at Neem Foundation.

“This milestone reaffirms our commitment to strengthening institutional responses and fostering a justice system that prioritises the rights and dignity of those affected by GBV.”

The newly designated courts will be overseen by dedicated judges trained to handle SGBV cases, addressing longstanding concerns over delayed prosecutions and inadequate legal support for victims.

Rights groups have long criticised systemic barriers that discourage survivors from seeking justice, including prolonged trials and a lack of specialised legal assistance.

The introduction of these courts is expected to improve access to justice and set a precedent for other states in Nigeria to follow.

Neem Foundation has played a key role in advocating for stronger legal protections for women and girls, collaborating with government institutions, religious and traditional leaders, and civil society organisations to push for reforms.
