DONATION TO AREA B COMMAND APAPA

The issue of gender-based violence in our communities should be of great concern to all and sundry especially the stakeholders. And to achieve a sustainable development and growth among the comity of nations in line with the United Nation Millennium Development Goal (MDG), efforts must be geared toward the eradication of inequalities among women and the girl child.

As an organization that has zero tolerance for any form of violence against women and the girl child, Ajegunle Community Project two years back organized a training programme for Help Agencies like the Police, Health workers, Customary Courts, and local government officials etc. The aims and objectives of the training programme include among others: to serve as a link for information gathering, to work together in fighting gender-based violence against women and the girl child and; to equip them (help agencies) with skills of documentation of gender-based violence cases.

The outcome of the training programme and the group discussions was the need to establish a “Women Desk” in our police stations. And as part of its social responsibilities and efforts to reduce the social inequalities among women, Ajegunle Community Project decided to provide working tools for the policemen who will work in the women desk of each police station. Hence, the need to provide the women desks with chairs, tables and logbooks (case recording book). This gesture we believe will go a long way in ensuring proper documentation of gender-based violence cases in our police stations with a view of determining how to address them properly.

This report showcases the happenings at the event during the donation of chairs; tables and logbooks to police stations under Area “B” Police Command, Apapa-Lagos.
