Wife of the Akwa Ibom State Governor, HE Mrs. Martha Udom Emmanuel is not relenting in her fight against Gender Based Violence.

Mma as she is fondly called, has toured the 10 federal constituencies of the state calling on Stakeholders, Community leaders, parents, and caregivers, to join hands in fighting the war against sexual and gender based violence by protecting women and girls from rape, child abuse, and other harmful traditional practices.

She said the domestication of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law, 2022, has given the Committee an enabling legal framework to prosecute all culprits of rape and domestic abuse, adding that the sensitization campaign to all the 10 federal constituencies in the state became expedient because “ignorance of the law would not be taken as an excuse.”

Her Excellency deserves commendation.
