Women have been advised to shelve being over-dependent on their men as a way of cubbing the rising spate of domestic violence in the society.

Mrs. Ngozi Ogbolu, Chairperson International Federation of Women Lawyers Nigeria, (FIDA), Lagos State branch, gave this advice at a press briefing marking the associations’ national law week.
