Legislative Measures adopted to ensure the responsibilities, rights and duties of parents  The most recent legal measure adopted in this regard can be found in Sections 19-20 of the CRA 2003, to the effect that subject to age, ability and other legal limitations, every child in Nigeria shall work toward the cohesion of his/her family and community; respect his/her parents and elders at all times and assist them in case of need, among others. Section 20 states that: “Every parent, guardian, institution, person and authority responsible for the care, maintenance, upbringing, education, training, socialisation, employment and rehabilitation of a child has the duty to provide the necessary guidance, discipline, education and training for the child in his/its care, such as will equip the child to secure his assimilation, appreciation, and observance of the responsibilities set out in this part of the Act.”  Other legislative measures initiated to protect the family, women, children, aged and the disabled are: - the 2016 Bill on Prohibition of Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities passed the National Legislature on 13th July 2016, which seeks to provide social protection to persons with disabilities and safeguards against discrimination that they may suffer from. It establishes a National Commission that will ensure that their rights to education, healthcare and other social and economic rights contained in the 1999 Constitution and other relevant treaties to which Nigeria is a party, are attained. Also, the 2015 Violence Against persons (Prohibition) Act prohibits all forms of violence against persons in public and private life, and provides maximum protection and effective remedies for victims as well as punishment of offenders. 92
