Mohamed Maifada, the Senior Programme Officer, WRAPA noted that the VAPP law by the Plateau State government was timely, hence the need to enhance its knowledge and implementation.
On her part, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Plateau State, Mrs. Rebecca Sambo, represented by the Director of Planning Research and Statistics in the Ministry, Mr. Sunday Dombin, said the ministry had trained gender vocal persons in the 17 LGAs of Plateau state to advocate against gender-based violence.
