Adamawa State has seen a decline in cases of Gender-Based Violence (GBV), marking a significant improvement in the state’s efforts to combat this social issue.

Mrs. Rifkatu Gwandi, the Permanent Secretary in Adamawa’s Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare, highlighted this progress in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday.

Gwandi attributed this positive change to the dedicated commitment of the state government, the ongoing implementation of the Violence Against Person Prohibition (VAPP) Law, and the collaborative support from partners and other stakeholders within the state.

While acknowledging occasional reports, she emphasised the substantial reduction in the frequency of GBV incidents. Gwandi said the reduction was due to the swift prosecution of perpetrators, ensuring justice for the victims, and the extensive advocacy carried out by the ministry and other stakeholders.

Furthermore, she commended the joint efforts of the state government, particularly the involvement of Hajiya Lami Fintiri, the wife of the governor, in various activities commemorating the 16 days of activism against GBV.

Gwandi urged continued partnerships among stakeholders, stressing the ministry’s readiness to welcome and support such collaborations.

Echoing the call for collective action, Kate Mamuno, the member representing Demsa Constituency in the Adamawa House of Assembly, also stressed the need for unity among stakeholders in the fight against GBV.

As the Majority Leader and Chairman of the House Committee on Women Affairs, Mamuno stressed the importance of cohesive efforts in the successful implementation of the VAPP Law and Child Protection Law in the state.

Mamuno applauded the swift response and support received from various arms of the government, especially the governor’s prompt assent to the bills aimed at preventing violence against individuals.

She highlighted the state’s focus on ensuring inclusivity, particularly emphasising the protection of schoolgirls and advocating for the well-being of the younger generation.

The lawmaker reiterated the significance of this year’s 16 days of activism, describing it as a historical event where key stakeholders, including the governor’s wife, actively participated in awareness campaigns through a road walk and various community engagement activities.

Both Gwandi and Mamuno emphasised the importance of continued commitment and collective action from all quarters to further reduce GBV incidents and ensure a safer environment for women, girls, and the vulnerable in Adamawa State.
