The alarming prevalence of Gender Based Violence

The alarming prevalence of Gender Based Violence in the mile 16 and Ekona communities around Buea has raised the attention of many. Within this framework Human IS Right is currently undertaking interventions in many home and institutions working in collaboration with the National Commission on Human Rights and Freedoms to curb the situation by talking one on one with victims who are mostly young women between the ages of 16 and 32 and as well bringing most cases to the attention of public authorities such as the Regional Delegation of the Women and the Family, the Regional Delegation of Social Affairs and the Ministry of Justice and other NGOs involved.
