They are all united in condemning rape in its entirety and want suspected rapists to be quickly tried and the guilty ones punished accordingly.
They reasoned that it is only when there are scapegoats that an end can be brought to rape in Nigeria.
The women who displayed emotions also appealed to parents to give proper home training to their children and wards
