The Lagos state government has launched an application to fight domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence in the state.
The digital application was unveiled by the Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA), on Tuesday.
The Executive Secretary of DSVA, Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, at the launch said the platform would ensure that all reported cases were managed optimally.
She explained that the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown of 2020 and the challenges that came with it, presented an opportunity for service providers to look inwards and identify the faults in their system and plot how to improve.

She believes the response mechanism would help improve the service provided by the DSVA.
The executive secretary said the support was provided through the development of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Unified Response Protocol and Referral Pathway Document which is the first of its kind in any Nigerian state.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Case Management System (DSVCMS) is available on Android and IOS and management of cases is currently being handled manually.
“This, therefore, slows down the process of providing services, especially as sexual and gender-based violence responders are duty bound to respond to incidents timeously.
”By virtue of the DSVCMS, we would be able to attend to cases, make necessary referrals to responder agencies and manage cases digitally, thereby optimising our operational efficiency.
”In essence, DSVCMS digitalises management of cases, end to end, across the relevant responder agencies,” Mrs. Vivour-Adeniyi said.
