Though Ondo State has been gradually increasing awareness and Work on ensuring that Gender Based Violence is combatted within the State with a very recent killing of a Woman by the Husband’s Brother in the State a Case in point.

But Lagos State has always taken the lead since 1999 of making Laws and moves against Gender Based Violence across the Country with a Special Court established for the purpose.
