Abuja (UNA-OIC) – Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osibanjo has reiterated the commitment of the Federal Government to zero tolerance to Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and reaffirmed its commitment toward ensuring care and justice for survivors.
The vice president declared this on Tuesday during the official launch of USAID’s MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership (MCGL) in Abuja.
Represented by Sadiya Umar Farouk, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Osinbajo said GBV was driven by structural inequalities and unequal power relations that render women subordinate to men.
Osinbajo explained that this was due to limited access to education, employment, finances, healthcare and opportunities to contribute to their families, communities and the nation’s economic growth. He noted that such conditions affect survivors, families and the broader society and economies of nations negatively.
