The National Association of Women Journalists (NAWoJ), Plateau State chapter, has described as disturbing the increasing cases of rape and child molestation in the state. NAWoJ Women StopRape SayNoToRape Rape
In a communiqué issued at the end of the association’s meeting at the Nigerian Union of Journalists’ Press Centre, NAWoJ called for concerted efforts to curtail the spiking and worrisome number of rape cases.
The communiqué signed by its chairperson, Madam Jennifer Yerima of the Plateau Radio Television Corporation , noted that women and young girls living where there are no toilet facilities are more vulnerable to being raped. She also pointed out that minors are mostly raped by family members and neighbours, but their parents keep sealed lips for fear of stigmatisation.
