While acknowledging the fact that the issue of domestic violence is global, he called for proper education of children about the implications of domestic violence by their families.

The speaker’s remarks formed part of resolutions reached on the floor of the House that Commissioners for Basic and Tertiary Education and other stakeholders should focus attention on the root cause of domestic violence as a catalyst for prevention.

Hon. Omolara Olumegbon-Lawal, Chairman of the Committee on Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, who brought the matter before the House in commemoration of “Domestic Violence Awareness Month”, underscored the need for more advocacy to be extended beyond addressing physical abuse to include guidance and counselling aimed at preventing these issues from occurring.

Corroborating her, Hon. Ladi Ajomale spoke about the importance of addressing the underlying causes, which include entrenched cultural beliefs and specific systems that condone violence.
