Dimapur, September 30 (MExN): The Naga Mothers Association (NMA) has condemned the rise of sexual violence against women and children in the state.
Ina condemnation note, NMA has condemned the incident of rape and brutal violence in Ngwalwa village, Peren on September 7 night and called upon the law enforcing agencies to take the severest action on the accused as per the law and no bail be granted.
NMA also condemned the incident of child molestation at Holy Angel's School, Tuensang by the headmaster on September 19 and demanded that action be taken as per the POSCO Act on the arrested accused.
The Association has demanded all schools and colleges to set up the Sexual Harassment Committee to initiate legal action on cases of harassment and sexual violence in their institutions, which is on the rise. “Such cases being covered up by school authorities without legal action is highly questionable and allows the predator to roam freely and repeat offences on other children and young students,” it stated/
Further, NMA also condemned the violence against one Naga woman in Ahmedabad, Gujarat on September 25 night by the owner identified as one Mohsin of Galaxy Spa, Sindhu Bhavan Marg.
“The viral video is shocking and severest action must be taken against the proprietor of the Spa and action be taken based on the FIR filed. There can be no justification for any kind of violence that threatens the security and life of a woman or child,” it stated.
“We stand in solidarity with ZMO and the rest of the civil societies who have come forward to voice out to seek justice for the victims and condemn the acts of violence against children and women,” NMA added.
