Wife of the Ekiti State Governor, Dr Olayemi Oyebanji has said that the state would establish and equip the gender courts in Ekiti.
This, according to her, is one of the ways of ending Gender Based Violence (GBV), which she described as hydra-headed problem.
Dr Oyebanji said that the GBV required multidimensional solution that would involve multi-sectoral approach, adding that, the government would look inwards into the already existing structures in the state so as to accommodate new challenges.
The wife of the governor stated this in an interactive session with the newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, as parts of activities marking the year 2022 edition of the 16 days of activism of no violence against women and children.
She said: “We will ensure that we gazette all our public policy laws and also review some of our laws to include, whistle blowers and witness of sexual violence crime protection, mandatory reporting, among others.” Dr Oyebanji expressed gratitude to the state government.
