Laws won’t stop abuse if homes keep raising boys to dominate women — Zuwera Ibrahimah

Before the passage of laws to protect women and children can achieve their intended impact, societies must first transform the values and attitudes that normalise abuse, says the Member of Parliament for Salaga South, Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimah. The legislator advocated the stance at the West Africa Female Parliamentarians Peer Review Conference in Accra, where women parliamentarians and civil society organisations are discussing regional strategies to combat violence against women and girls.
