Minister of Women affairs and social development, Dame Pallen-Tallen has called on Nigerians to stand against all forms of Gender Based Violence especially among people with Disabilities in the Country.
Pallen-Tallen made the call today at the opening ceremony of the training of GBV advocate among PWDs held in Abuja, Thursday.
The Minister stated that anybody that contribute to GBV should face the law and must not be allowed to live with people, so as to curb initiation among young people.
