Women, children get psycho-social support in Delta

A group, the Standup for Women Society (SWS) yesterday declared “an era of favour” for vulnerable children and women, whose rights and development have been abused through the unveiling of a psycho-social support centre in Delta State. According to the group, barren, unmarried and violated women, who have suffered reproaches and other forms of domestic violence, as well as children whose rights have been abused are expected to be direct beneficiaries of the programme. The National President, Mrs. Deborah Adetola Ijadele, a lawyer, supported by the Chairman of the event, Bashorun Askia Ogeh, the Managing Director of the Delta State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (DESOPADEC); the Omu Anioma, Obi Martha Dunkwu; the Delta State chairperson, Mrs. Stella Macaulay and other executives of the group yesterday in Asaba, said that the narrative to liberate the girl-child from domestic violence must become a norm.
