In a tweet by the commission, blaming victims of rape and other SGBV creates a culture of fear on women and girls.The tweet read, “Perpetrators must be named and shamed for their actions, this way we show accountability and #EndSGBVinNigeria.


“For the first time ever in Nigeria, the NHRC is having a Public Hearing on SGBV to bring accountability and provide succor to victims.”
