National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has decried what it described as alarming cases of domestic violence against women and children in Kwara state. The commission, which said that violence against children and women are on the rise, added that it had recorded from January till date no fewer than 200 cases of battery and domestic violence in the state. As we speak from January to this day we have received close to 200 cases of domestic violence that we are tracking. “The reports we get on rape cases are not as high as that of domestic violence. This report x-rays the lives and experiences of residents in getting clean, potable and affordable water amidst the surge of COVID-19 cases in the state.
