The State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Honourable Omowumi Olatunji-Edet said this on Friday while briefing journalists on resolutions from the weekly State Executive Council meeting,
She said the council approved the launch of the Violence Against Children (VAC), logo and campaign, aimed at waging war against violence on children in accordance with the Federal Government action plan.
The Commissioner added that a Trust Fund would be established for the purpose of ensuring that the aggressive campaigns needed across the state are not hampered by any logistics.
She regretted that, cases of violence and abuse against children in the state have not been adequately reported due to fear of stigmatisation and family orientations but said such would soon be things of the past with the new policy direction of the State Government.
