The birth of the VAPP Act 2015 paved the way for state assemblies to commence the process of domesticating it to contextual realities of their respective domains. Kebbi State achieved this on 27th of July 2022, when the Executive Governor, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, assented to the Bill, making it Law in the State. Towards ensuring that the momentum of the process was not lost, Ipas Nigeria Health Foundation supported the state to move forward by working to produce the Standards and Guidelines for the Medical Management of Survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, and inaugurated a technical committee to see to the implementation.
