The issue of domestic violence has become increasingly prevalent in recent times, leaving behind a trail of shattered lives and broken families. Within the confines of homes, individuals endure various forms of abuse, ranging from physical violence to emotional and psychological torment, often suffering in silence. However, amidst this sad reality, CSAAE offers a response system where survivors of domestic violence and members of the public can call the Advocacy toll-free line (0800 900 1000), to seek support and report cases of this nature.
Recent calls received through the CSAAE Advocacy Toll-Free Line have exposed the harsh reality of domestic violence. Numerous reported cases paint a harrowing picture of individuals trapped in abusive relationships, living in constant fear for their safety and that of their loved ones (children). These narratives, ranging from physical assaults to threats of harm, the stories are stark reminders of the pervasive nature of this social menace.
One such case involved a young woman who endured years of torment at the hands of her spouse. Despite being bruised and battered, she summoned the courage to reach out to the CSAAE Advocacy toll-free line, where compassionate professionals provided her with the necessary support and guidance. Through their intervention, she was connected with an organization that assisted her in seeking legal redress, enabling her to break free from the vicious cycle of abuse.
In Nigeria, domestic violence is not solely a moral issue; it is a legal one as well. The Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act, passed in 2015, offers comprehensive legal protection for victims of domestic abuse. This legislation ensures that perpetrators can face stringent penalties, including imprisonment, fines, and restraining orders. By reporting instances of domestic violence through the CSAAE Advocacy toll-free line (0800 900 1000), survivors can pursue justice and hold their abusers accountable for their actions.
