Lagos DSVA: Simi cannot be prosecuted without evidence

The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has said it cannot prosecute singer Simi over her resurfaced 2012 tweets without concrete evidence or testimony from alleged victims.​ Executive Secretary of the agency, Lola Vivour Adeniyi, explained on Channels Television’s Morning Brief that the DSVA has a duty to begin a preliminary review of the matter because of the public outcry. She stressed, however, that the law requires statements or cooperation from survivors before any case can move forward.​ Vivour Adeniyi said it would be very difficult to take formal legal action against the artist in the absence of a complainant. She urged anyone who may have experienced sexual abuse, assault or defilement to come forward so that their account can be documented and proper procedures commenced.​ Simi’s old tweets resurfaced after she spoke out strongly against rape, with some […]

UK criticises X over paid Grok image edits

The UK government has sharply criticised Elon Musk’s social media platform X for restricting Grok AI image-editing tools to paying users, saying the move shows a lack of respect for victims of misogyny and sexual violence. Downing Street said the decision effectively turns a tool that has been used to create illegal and abusive images into a paid service, rather than addressing the harm it has caused. The comments follow widespread anger after Grok was found to be digitally altering photos of people, often women, by removing their clothing without consent. Government officials noted that while the feature is now blocked for free users on X, it remains available through Grok’s separate app and website. The prime minister’s spokesperson said the change proved the company could act quickly when it chose to, but insisted stronger action was still required. Sir […]

WHO: 840 Million Women Globally Have Suffered Sexual Violence

A new report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and UN partners reveals that 840 million women worldwide have experienced partner or sexual violence in their lifetime, a crisis affecting nearly one in three women globally—a rate unchanged since 2000. In the past year alone, 316 million women (11% of those aged 15+) faced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner. The report, released before the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, also notes 263 million women have faced non-partner sexual violence since age 15, though this figure is likely underreported. WHO’s Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus called violence against women one of the most “pervasive injustices” and urged governments to scale up prevention, survivor services, and data tracking. However, in 2022, only 0.2% of global aid went to programs addressing violence against women, with support declining further […]

UN Warns of Rising Violence Against Women and Girls in Sudan

The United Nations agency for women, UN Women, has raised alarm over the growing violence against women, girls, and civilians in and around El Fasher, North Darfur, Sudan. In a statement, the agency described the situation as catastrophic, noting that women and girls have faced siege, bombardment, and starvation for more than 500 days. Reports indicate that about 300,000 women and girls—half of the 575,000 people trapped in the city—are surviving on animal feed and leaves amid severe hunger and insecurity. UN Women said the recent takeover of El Fasher by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) marked a shift from siege to mass atrocities. The group cited reports of killings, rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, forced marriage, and abductions of women and girls. Medical networks, including the Sudan Doctors Union, have reported that over 2,000 civilians, many of them women […]

A Girl’s Trust Betrayed: Pastor’s Crime Leaves Her a Mother at 13

A trusted pastor in Ogun State has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for the defilement of a 12-year-old girl, an act that resulted in her becoming a mother at the age of 13. The tragedy began when the victim, identified as Blessing, was sent home from school for an unpaid N1,500 textbook fee. With her parents away at work, their neighbour, Pastor Oluwole Jonathan of Christ Apostolic Church, Land of Mercy, invited the girl into his home. There, he drugged her and assaulted her. Upon waking, the girl was threatened into silence. "He told me if I told anyone, I would die," she recalled. The crime remained hidden for months until the girl’s mother noticed physical changes. A medical test confirmed a five-month pregnancy. The family, devastated, reported the matter to the police. Pastor Jonathan was arrested but […]
