Senate
President David Mark has assured of a speedy passage of the Violence Against
Persons (Prohibition) Bill into law as part of measures to stop domestic
violence or harmful practices against women in Nigeria.
The
Bill sought to eliminate violence in private and public life, prohibit all
forms of violence, discrimination and provide maximum protection and remedies
for victims, as well as punishment for offenders.
Senator
Mark said this while responding to a request from the Minister of Women
Affairs, Hajiya Zainab Maina, at weekend in Abuja.
He
said the bill, when passed into law, would address the inadequacies in the
current laws regulating the Nigerian criminal justice system and respond to
emerging forms of violence.
“We
shall give the bill its utmost priority and urgency. We shall do everything
possible to stop violence, especially domestic or violence against women in
public and private spaces,” he said.
He
told the Women Affairs Minister and other women groups to intensify
enlightenment and advocacy to create awareness on the social problem, even as
he blamed violence against women on ignorance.
Earlier,
Hajiya Maina requested the Senate President to facilitate the passage of the
bill into law in order to ensure the safety of women and girls everywhere in
Nigeria.
