a former husband has scarred half forever but 5 lies against women doesn't only happen in relationships and in the home it's much more widespread a few weeks ago this c.c.t.v. video triggered outreached responses it shows in nigeria nieto slapping a woman multiple times. i have. to man had intervened in an argument he was having with the shop owner the case is now in court experts say this proves how commonplace violence against women and file is in the one in nigeria. where stick mills is proving that its house skyrocketed warm out of every 5 years why you find out so far from the best

advice. doc told you markie says people are more open about reporting violence against women and seeking help these days but it seems usually prefer to settle out of court so most perpetrators don't face punishment own thousands of years ago by choice once and. if you move to. the team i decided to stay with her husband but he passed through we while the case was to being settled in court. let's go visit lagos where low level i did the is standing by she works with lagos state the mistake and sexual violence welcome to the african lower give us a sense of how big the problem of violence against women is in nigeria. thank you good afternoon and thank you for having me vallance against women sexual

engine that these. big issue for us especially in lagos state it's not like to see these issues have not always been there but what is on the increase now is reporting people are speaking up more people reporting on behalf of others it means that people are. in to some extent they believe more in the system and that's why just speaking of and trying to get help so it is a big issue it's a public health issue and it is something that's everybody knows is it the concern and we have a restless ability to ensure that we address these issues from the holistic perspective that's interesting to note only because as you've just said it's a recent phenomenon that people are starting to speak out pabst in light and as as to why people feel comfortable speaking out now yes i think for us it's we can we can attribute this to 3 reasons number one there's a 0 tolerance to this issues especially in the it. people are speaking of as monday

to have reporters just speaking on behalf of others there is also an increase out when less as 2 steps can be taken there's information now people know that there are numbers to call to hundreds to for people to reach out offices to go to police stations that have changed police officers that were let into these cases so as soon an increasing reporting and then there is the political will to fight this menace in lagos state and i dare say in most states in nigeria so with the political will increase and access to. information and 0 tolerance was seen is steady increase in reporting of these cases. well that really sounds incredible i know that with your work and your organization you work with a lot of victims people who've been in the situation and you help them on their way out talks about some of that work you're doing and perhaps some of the preventative

measures as well that you're employing yes yes so did as well like a one stop shop where legal assistance to go support psychosocial support we come in in terms of emergency where we need to rescue women all children that are being abused there's also empowerment a good majority of the survivors of domestic violence are financially dependent and you have to use as a government is there to ensure that these women won't part so our system on general to heal and so will we we look at it for me holistic perspective and that is why we have different people on the team providing support to survival's we believe greatly in convention if we're able to prevent will not have to respond and so we do a lot of ad hoc you see a vocation for children a vacancy for firenze trainings and we're privileged to have a comment that policies that have now been accepted by the government most think

most recently we have it and the book you see for when we do we. because you know we need to start to promote positive last community if it will to address boys from the young age we are we empower them to be ambassadors we believe that who calls that to see every doctor in the commission of these offenses in the 1st place and so we have what we call kings love initiative as a 2nd just call levels when we are in power boy to stand up for girls for some form of gender equality i will that you know with this information the boys will not begin to calm down or the boys or men that perpetrate this violence so look at home . from always possible to sent just yesterday when we started our journeys for religious institutions because in nigeria liberals live just institutions are really just clerics. most of the cases go to. the governments. lower level and in the thank you. thank you so much.

now a traditional sports lost in time has returned to the central african republic people have stopped playing the game. because of the country's precarious security situation now it's been revived by some gang enthusiasm thanks to a law in the conflict. as fast and rough whacking a homemade pack within sticks requires shop reflexes speed and team skills the aim of the game is to stop the puck coming to a standstill in your half of the pitch for some watching this traditional game triggers memories of happier times isn't a trick is but it's again that was played during initiation rites it's a game that united people which reminded people of the values of community life so now we're thinking about how the values of the game can help rebuild our country is

. traditionally people played the game of against neighboring villages but when the central african republic spiraled into violence in the early 2000 sometimes animosities were played out on the field. at some point the game got too rough sometimes the children would drop the sticks and downs out the eyes of the other children the parents would say i don't want you playing that that's what and baba disappeared until now. recent relative calm has allowed to return. but this book it's a sport that we had started to play when we were children says it's a joyous sport that unites that's what i like about him baba. as more and more neighborhood matches bring up players hope for us popularity to spread.
