The Niger state Management Committee on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), has solicited the support of traditional leaders for victims of Gender-Based violence in the state. It would be recalled that the State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Bello had in February this year, inaugurated 20-member management committee with a view to curbing the menace of Gender-Based Violence in the state, mostly among women. “We have identified secrecy, stigmatisation as a result of why victims of the Violence (GBV) don’t come out to speak out, out of fear of being stigmatized by people in their communities. The Chairperson, however, appealed to the traditional leaders to help sensitise their subjects on the need to reduce cases of GBV.
