CASTRATE FATHERS WHO RAPE THEIR DAUGHTERS- ADVOCATES TALLEN

Tallen advocates castration as punishment for incest

Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs. Pauline Tallen

Mrs Pauline Tallen, Minister of Women Affairs has recommended castration as punishment for fathers who sleep with their daughters an offense commonly referred to as incest in Nigeria.

Tallen made the recommendation at a news conference in commemoration of 16 days of Activism against Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Abuja on Sunday.

She described incest as the worst form of gender based violence, which required stringent punishment as castration.

Kanem noted that incest only thrived where the victim was coerced into being silent.

She expressed worry over the insecurity of the women and girls in home where they were supposed to be protected by the family but ironically are violated.

“Incest is the worst form of gender based violence and I advocate castration as punishment for offenders.

‘Let us name and shame the perpetrators of incest because it is the worst,” she said.

The minister appealed to the media to amplify the message to end all forms of violence against women and girls and called for domestication of Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act by states.

Dr Natalia Kanem, Executive Director, UN Population Fund (UNFPA), blamed the prevalence of incest and other forms of GBV on conspiracy of silence.
