The
Senate has passed violence against persons Prohibition Bill which seeks
to prohibit female circumcision, forceful ejection from home and
harmful widowhood practices.
The bill when passed to law
would also help eliminate violence in private and public life, provides
maximum protection, effective remedies for victims of violence, and
punishment of offenders.
The bill also
prohibits abandonment of spouse, children and other dependents without
sustenance as well as forbids battery and harmful traditional practices.
The bill equally prohibits economic abuse, forced isolation and
separation from family and friends, substance attack, depriving persons
of their liberty, incest, indecent exposure, among others.
