Vp osinbajo adresses rape and sexual assault in latest press release

I'm not aware of any recent press release from Vice President Yemi Osinbajo addressing rape and sexual assault. However, I can provide some general information on the topic.

Rape and sexual assault are serious violations of human rights and are considered crimes in most countries. They can have severe physical and emotional consequences for the victims, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and even suicide.

In Nigeria, where Vice President Osinbajo is from, rape and sexual assault are significant problems. According to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), there were over 10,000 reported cases of rape in Nigeria in 2020 alone.

In response to the growing concern about rape and sexual assault, the Nigerian government has taken some steps to address the issue. For example, in 2020, the government passed the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Act, which criminalizes various forms of violence against women and children, including rape and sexual assault.

Additionally, the government has established the National Centre for Women Development (NCWD) to provide support and services to victims of gender-based violence, including rape and sexual assault.

It's worth noting that while these efforts are important, more needs to be done to address the root causes of rape and sexual assault, including gender inequality, lack of education, and cultural and societal norms that perpetuate violence against women and children.

If you or someone you know has been affected by rape or sexual assault, there are resources available to help. The National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 and can be reached at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
