Domesticate the VAPP Act in Plateau – Women affairs minister, Alhassan urges Lalong

The Minister for Women Affairs and Social Development, Senator Aisha Alhassan, on Wednesday appealed to the Plateau State Government to domesticate the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Act to help prohibit violence against children, women and even men in the state.
Alhassan made the appeal when she paid a courtesy call on Governor Simon Lalong, in Jos.
She said, “There is the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Act, which was enacted last year at the federal level. It is very important, because it covers the gaps that are in the Child Rights Act, in respect of children.
