She said most violent cases against women end outside the court, adding that religion and ethnic beliefs were complicating the situation.

Speaking at the United Nations (UN) House in Abuja, during the unveiling of a gender-based violence (GBV) film trailer, “Deepening Silence”, the minister said people are not speaking out because of customs and religion.

“Until people begin to go to jail, violence against women won’t stop,” she said, adding that violence against women culprits always buy the parents.

“People are buying parents. The UNDP must get lawyers and take the perpetrators to court and jail them.

“It’s a five-year TV series which will continue the narrative in challenging the gender norms, women participation in politics and gathering,” Chimrimuta said of the programme, adding that they are committed to gender equality.

On his part, the director-general (DG) of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Charles Egwegwu, said the broadcast media is a good platform to drive the idea, adding that it shapes narratives.
