A Professor of Human Rights Law and one-time Chairman of Nigeria’s National Human Rights Commission, Prof. Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, has disclosed that Gender Based Violence (GBV) is not a problem of the poor people alone, some highly placed Nigerian women have also been destroyed as a result.
Odinkalu said the categories of women destroy by GBV, most times, by their spouses included female deputy governors, high court judges, professors in the academia, commissioners, and a host of others.
Odinkalu was the keynote speaker at a recent one day Access to Justice Summit held at Metropolitan Hotel, Calabar, with the theme, “Advancing Access to Justice for Gender-Based Violence Survivors in Rural Communities through the Customary Court System.”
