FIDA Nigeria advocated for the police to rise up to their statutory responsibilities and do a lot more to Stop All Forms of Violence Against Women and Children; they sensitized the Police on recently passed legislations such as the (VAPP) Act (2015) which can be used by them in prosecution; FIDA agreed to support the Police in training it’s officers particularly those on the Gender Desks at Police Stations, including other proactive collaborations for the benefit of the vulnerable groups. The positive role FIDA plays in the society was appreciated and commended, the police force gladly welcomed any help that may be received from FIDA in the future
