Domestic violence remains a critical issue across various regions, particularly in Nigeria, where alarming cases have surfaced, prompting calls for more stringent enforcement of laws and societal change. Lagos State has seen a staggering 24,955 reports of gender-based violence since 2019, with advocates urging collective societal efforts to combat this epidemic. Elvira Sastre emphasizes the need for continuous denunciation of gender violence, which she describes as a form of terrorism that anesthetizes society, while also critiquing victim-blaming narratives. Media personality Josephine Oppong-Yeboah advocates for a just society where women can report abuse without stigma, highlighting the psychological toll of enduring violence. The tragic deaths of women due to domestic abuse, including recent high-profile cases, underscore the urgency for communities and governments to confront and address this pervasive issue. Overall, a unified approach involving legal, cultural, and social reforms is essential to combat the rising tide of gender-based violence.
