The Executive Secretary of the Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, revealed this in a statement made available to our correspondent on Thursday.
The Lagos State Government has commenced support and healing group sessions for perpetrators of domestic abuse.
She stated that the programme was in line with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to providing a holistic response to sexual and gender-based violence in the state. She said, “The worrisome increase in cases of domestic violence has informed the necessity to address the trend. “The support and healing group sessions for perpetrators of domestic violence will tackle the root causes of domestic violence. The programme will help identify and address the underlying factors contributing to perpetrators’ violent behaviour as results from the research show that these domestic violence cases stem from deep-seated issues such as unresolved trauma, anger management problems, substance abuse, or learned patterns of violence.
