Hajia Mopelola Abdulmalik-Bashir is the immediate past Commissioner for Women Affairs in Kwara State before her recent deployment to the Ministry of Water Resources.
What is your take on Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s gender mainstreaming?
We are celebrating the girl-child to call the attention of society to the pains the girl-child undergoes daily. On child trafficking, normally we collaborate with NAPTIP. We realised that Kwara State is the transit and recruitment centre for child trafficking. It is commonplace in Kwara North and Central; the rate of child trafficking in the state as per available report is one of the highest in the South-West. It is the lowest in the North.
Sexual and gender-based violence is one of the focuses of this ministry. Thank God the wife of the governor, Ambassador Olufolake AbdulRazaq, has taken that as her pet project. On that, we have been able to go all out to get Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law signed. Of note is my involvement in the major activities leading to the commencement of the process of amending the Kwara State Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law.
