As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to mark the 2023 International Day of the Girl Child, the United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF, the United Kingdom, UK, among other development partners have re-affirmed their commitments to help girls realise their potential.
“What government and partners can think about is designing all the programmes for girls and keeping the girls’s right at the center of the programme, because we cannot design any programme without having the participation of the girls and without girls’ involvement. “To genuinely alter the course towards gender equality and empowerment, we need bold, transformative actions and robust accountability,”it said.
“Through our programmes and advocacy, we are supporting women and girls affected by the conflict in Northeast Nigeria and tackling gender-based violence. Our girls’ education programmes have already supported 1.5 million additional girls to access schooling in six states since 2012.We are pleased to be partnering with UNICEF as part of our commitment to driving forward progress through their campaign ‘26 million Reasons: Standing Up for Adolescent Girls and Their Rights.
