Joint-Statement-In-Commemoration-Of-16-Days-Of-Activism JOINT STATEMENT IN COMMEMORATION OF THE 2020 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM THEME "ORANGE THE WORLD: FUND, RESPOND, PREVENT, COLLECT! Violence against women and girls is among the most widespread and devastating human rights violations in the world, but much of it is often unreported due to norms and practices that further entrench gender inequality through a culture of impunity, public shaming, and forced silence. Global statistics show that one in four women will experience a form of violence in her lifetime; yet women’s rights issues remain hugely underfunded (UN Women, 2019). Gender-based violence is an issue that affects hundreds of millions of people around the world and has particular implications for those holding a marginalized racial, ethnic, class, indigenous, or disabled status (Janou Hooykaas). Despite advances in women’s rights around the world, violence against women and girls remains one of the most pervasive human rights abuses, and its occurrence in the home or by an intimate partner is its most prevalent form. Globally, it was revealed that on average, 30 per cent of women who have been in a relationship report that they have experienced some form of physical or sexual violence by their partner and as many as 38 per cent of murders of women are committed by an intimate partner. UNODC Global Studies on Homicide found that in 2012, almost half of all female victims of murder (47 per cent, or 43,600 women) were killed by their family members or intimate partners, compared to 6 per cent (20,000) of male homicide victims. Intimate partner violence is also the most common form of gender-based violence against girls. UNICEF research reveals that, globally, nearly one in three adolescent girls aged 15 Implemented by to 19 (84 million) in formal unions have been the victims of emotional, physical and/or sexual violence perpetrated by their husband or partner. The imperative for addressing this type of violence against women has been reflected in various global and regional conventions, declarations and resolutions that condemn this violence as a violation of human rights and appeal to governments around the world to enact laws, adopt policies, and execute programs to eliminate it. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the rates of GBV in most countries. Although it is stated that pandemics do not discriminate as it affects everyone everywhere, but it tends to affect different gender differently due to existing and deepening gender inequalities as exemplified in the exponential increase in domestic violence as partners were being forced to stay with their violent partners. This caused an increase in the rate of GBV, in rape cases, partner threats, economic and financial loss; women performed more care bearing roles in the family, including dealing with child abandonment by women as a result of husbands leaving them, and teenage pregnancies. With the increasing rates of GBV in Nigeria during the COVID-19, several petitions were raised by CSOs and women-led coalitions demanding a declaration of a state of emergency for GBV. On Wednesday, June 10, 2020 different bodies of the Nigerian State initiated measures to combat the increasing cases of rape and other forms of brutality against women during the lockdown. These actions came in response to the massive protest movement which started and spread across different cities of the country. Also, on June 4 2020, a campaign against the increasing cases of SGBV was launched by a broad coalition, including TechHerNG, Invictus Africa, Connected Development; Enough is Enough Nigeria, Stand To End Rape Initiative, SilverChipFox, Yiaga Africa, Dorothy Njemanze Foundation, and Education as Vaccine. On June 5, protesters, led by this #StateOfEmergencyGBV coalition, converged on the Police Headquarters in the commercial hub of Lagos and the capital city of Abuja, addressing their demands to the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Governors’ Forum, House of Representatives, Senate, and the Federal Executive Council. Implemented by Demonstrations also took place in the capital city of Abuja, joined by the Minister of Women’s Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen OFR, who held a placard reading, “Red Card to Nigerian Rapists, Pack and Go.” Also Action Aid Nigeria joined the protest at the Police HQ in Abuja where they urged on the Presidency to declare a state of emergency on Gender-Based Violence.” On June 8, protesters in Lagos marched to the state House of Assembly, reiterating the demand for the declaration of a state of emergency. In a similar protest on June 9, protesters marched to the State Assembly in Bayelsa State demanding that the Violence Against Persons Prohibitions (VAPP) Act 2015 be domesticated by all the 36 states of the country. It was reported that GBV cases got to its peak during the lockdown when “over 58 cases were reported in Bayelsa (alone)”, said Maria Olodi, a women rights activist who was one of the conveners of the protest. In Lagos State, the Domestic Violence Referral Centre reported about 35 percent increase in GBV cases. More so, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, also reported that there had been 717 rapes recorded between January and May. Therefore, in commemoration of the 16 Days of Activism, an international annual campaign that links violence against women and girls and human rights, this broad Coalition has developed this joint statement to reinforce the demands made by women groups, networks, organizations and coalitions during the protests earlier this year on the increase of GBV in the country and to further amplify our voices. We the undersigned organizations demand: The enactment of a Bill for an Act to Prohibit the Stigmatization of Victims of Rape and Insurgency in order to encourage victims of rape to testify in court and victims of insurgency to be reintegrated into the community of his or her choice. The domestication of the VAPP Act 2015 in states that are yet to do so. For those that have domesticated the Act, it should be made accessible to citizens and key stakeholders, while being implemented. This is because among the numerous Acts that deal with rape in Nigeria, including Implemented by the Criminal Code and the Penal Code, the VAPP Act provides the most comprehensive definitions of rape and consent, among others. The establishment of Sexual Assault Referral Centers in every state backed with a coordinated, sustainably-funded support system. The criminalization and prompt state-led prosecution of SGBV cases within (families), regardless of requests or interference by the victim’s family or interested parties. The gender unit of the Police force be strengthened to ensure greater protection of women and girls in light of the surge in SGBV incidences. The Police Force should designate, replicate and strengthen Gender Desks/Family Support Units in all Police Divisions across Nigeria; ensure that the Gender Desks/Family Support Units are well equipped and staffed with a trained personnel to manage the desks; create toll-free hotlines that are accessible to vulnerable persons to report SGBV. The State Governments should make provision in the key ministries for a standby functional operational vehicle to respond to distress calls of SGBV. There should be strengthened collaborations with stakeholders for referrals and linkages on SGBV, especially with organizations providing health care and shelters where necessary. That the Federal and State governments put in place a national protocol to secure women and girls from rape. Each State to have continued and safe access to support services and emergency measures, including legal assistance and access to judicial remedies for women and girls at risk, or who are subjected to domestic and sexual violence, harassment and abuse. Access to sexual and reproductive health services through easy-to-access procedures such as online prescriptions for contraceptives, while ensuring continuous education through accessible educational tools and platforms. Facilitate the issuance of protection orders and ensure access to rape crisis centers and safe shelters or hotel accommodation for women and girls who are victims or at risk of gender-based violence. The need to have a greater accountability and political commitment from states to prevent and punish all forms of violence against women in practice and not just in mere words.

  • Nigeria 2020 Human Rights Report
    NIGERIA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nigeria is a federal republic composed of 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. In February 2019 citizens re-elected President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress party to a second four-year term. Most independent observers agreed the election outcome was credible despite logistical challenges, localized violence, and some irregularities. The Nigeria Police Force is the primary law enforcement agency, along with other federal organizations. The Department of State Services is responsible for internal security and reports to the president through the national security adviser. The Nigerian Armed Forces are responsible for external security but also have domestic security responsibilities. Consistent with the constitution, the government continued to turn to the armed forces to address internal security concerns, due to insufficient capacity and staffing of domestic law enforcement agencies. There were reports that members of the security forces committed human rights abuses. Civilian authorities did not always maintain effective control over the security services. The insurgency in the Northeast by the militant terrorist groups Boko Haram and the Islamic State in West Africa continued. The groups conducted numerous attacks on government and civilian targets, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries, widespread destruction, the internal displacement of more than two million persons, and the external displacement of somewhat more than an estimated 300,000 Nigerian
