Hadis Foundation holds dialogue on the VAPP Laws, engages stakeholders on eliminating Gender-Based Violence

Hadis Foundation, in collaboration with Kwara State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development and other partners, hosted a dialogue on the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (POVAPPS) Law in Kwara State.

The dialogue focused on popularizing the 2020 gazetted Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) law, was held on 25 November 2021, at the Kwara Hotels, Ilorin. The prevalence of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in society, according to the organizers, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, made this dialogue necessary.

The hybrid event, sponsored by the Ford Foundation, brought together secondary school students, teachers, traditional rulers, security forces, civil society practitioners, the Kwara SGBV committee, and top government officials in person and virtually.

Chief Kayode Alabi, the Deputy Governor of Kwara State, delivered a commitment address, reinstating the zeal of the Kwara State government in ensuring that gender-based violence is eliminated.
