Oluwaseun Ayodeji Osowobi is a gender equality advocate as well as Sexual and Gender-based Violence Prevention and Response expert. Issues of sexual violence, domestic violence, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), widowhood rites, segregation based on gender, among other issues, came across to me as some of the greatest injustices anyone could experience. SGBV cases cannot be treated as a minor crime or a family matter. Domestic violence cases could be ascertained through physical scars etc. I remember a police officer telling me, “we are not magicians,” in response to my request for the police adequately handling SGBV cases.
