 One in every four girls will be abused before the age of 18, while one in ten boys will also be abused before 18. It is therefore of utmost importance that the children are engaged to prevent them from falling prey to pedophiles and perverts. This was the submission of the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Moya Soareh Onibangjo, who is also Chairman of Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team during a media parlay in Alausa, Ikeja, plus TV Africa Lagos State Government House correspondent Love Ikuku Oyedokun, who covered the event, tells us more. According to the United Nations, an estimated 736 million women, which represents one in three people globally, have been subjected to one form of violence or the other, at least once in their lifetime. In Lagos State, Nigeria, the story is not different as not less than 10,007 cases of domestic and sexual violence against adults and children have been recorded. At least an average of 150 new cases of domestic violence are recorded on a monthly basis. At this media parlay, Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Moya Soareh Onibangjo says, during the period under review, the directorate of public prosecutions secured over 365 convictions for various sexual offenses. He speaks on various training platforms put in place to create awareness on the vice and reduce the trend. During this period, we have also been able to leverage on technology while responding to sexual and gender-based violence with the support from the Joint European Union Funded Spotlight Initiative. Onibangjo, who frowns at stigmatization against victims of sexual abuse, calls on parents to speak out while warning that when one year's imprisonment are with perpetrators. There is no stigma attached to this. They need all our support. They need all our assistance. There is no stigma attached to it. The most report abuse is not normal. We must get people to start thinking that this behavior, this deviant behavior is not normal. It's not normal for a father to abuse his daughter or for anybody to abuse a minor, whether male or female. The penalties are in the law, rape, defilement, life imprisonment, 21 years jail. Earlier, he announced the launch of the domestic and sexual violence case management service portal, which he said was designed to manage cases and also serve as a reporting tool as accessible on both web and mobile applications.
