 A rights activist, Mary E. Coco says the high rate of sexual-based violence is caused by lack of strong justice system. Mary, who was a guest on our breakfast show, argues that, for there to be a safer space for women and girls, perpetrators of these nefarious acts like rape, kidnapping and even murder must not be allowed to go scot-free. Los TV Africa's correspondent Destiny Momor has more. Breaking the culture of silence and encouraging girls to speak up in the face of abuse is a major safe space attainment. A rights activist, Mary E. Coco, talks about the need to address historical imbalance where men think they are stronger and offenders having entitlement mentality based on the perception of patriarchal society. Serial rapes, serial pedophiles, both scot-free in our court of law, in our courtrooms, and it shouldn't be like that because when you let go one criminal, you also put the life of another citizen at risk and make sure that even in the neighborhood where they live, for the ones who did not get capital punishment, if they have to still exist in our society, we owe everybody in that community a duty to flag the home where that person lives, a pedophile lives in this space. What you need to do that is because people who live in that environment need to know that their movement, when to go out and all of that, that there is a questionable character in your neighborhood. Nollywood actress Shan George says only God can prefer a safe space for women and girls. She however advised parents to take responsibility in educating their girl child. The first thing to make everybody a bit safe is to be able to have laws that can punish those people that will commit those kind of offenses. So the laws have to be in place first of all. And also the parents, you need to really be able to communicate with your kids. There's a whole lot of what communication can do. I'm saying that because I'm also a girl child who grew up at a certain time in a kind of environment where things like harassment and abuse and all that happen in law. A social commentator emphasizes the aspect of moderation for both genders, stressing on the importance of abstaining from alcohol intake and drug use. I will push moderation with regard to everything. For the girls, moderation in what to do. For the guys, for the boys, for the men, moderation. Because we are just beginning to realize now that most of this thing we call unsafe for our guests might be a result of substance inducement. But if we talk moderation, we push moderation to our boys and guests, men and women. I think this space will be safer for all genders, not just for the guests. While the safe space should be a space meant for and run by women and girls, a sustainability will require the input and support of many stakeholders. Destiny Momo for Plus TV Africa.
