One out of every five Nigerian woman or girl has been a victim of violence, according to the National Centre for Women Development (NCWD).
Ms Onyeka Onwenu, the Director-General of the centre, said this to commemorate the 2013 International Day of Elimination of Gender-based Violence at a round table meeting organised by the centre and the U.S. Mission in Nigeria.
