Why the girl -child should be up-skilled | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
Throughout the world, millions of girls are being deprived of a fundamental right – the right to education. This all-important right outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1984 has been reinforced, recognized as a global priority, and incorporated into developmental agendas over the past decades. Developed nations have made tremendous, progressive commitments towards achieving higher rates in girl education.
The International Day of the Girl has contributed to the empowerment of girls and women all over the world. It has brought focus to addressing challenges faced by adolescent girls and women. The day also is to celebrate their empowerment and fulfillment of rights. The day has created huge awareness of the right to a safe, educated, and healthy life for adolescent girls in their formative years, continuing until they mature into women.
Given the commitments made, it is time for the girl to be emancipated from all shackles that hold her back and fulfill her potential. The quality of girls’ future will be determined by the quality of opportunities they have now to learn and develop relevant skills that will enable them to access, perform, and create dignified and fulfilling work. If this is achieved, there is no limitation for the girl from infancy till adulthood.
