Government and policymakers need to look at child marriage urgently and totally discourage it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe need all stakeholders to be present there to see how we can eradicate child marriage completely in Nigeria,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Iya observed that many girls were fond of giving birth to children they possibly lacked prerequisite parental qualities needed to train these children, adding that those were the ones ultimately capable of \u201dconstituting nuisance in the society\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She, therefore, drew the urgent attention of the government and policymakers to the troubling menace of Sexual and Gender Based Violence, saying that most of its consequent atrocities unfolded on the streets where vulnerable children were abandoned and subjected to such societal malady.<\/p>\n<p>She also hinged on the\u00a0<em>Child\u2019s Right Act<\/em>\u00a0(2003), as the law that guarantees the rights of all children in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, only 24 out of 36 states of the federation have adopted the CRA as a state law, with 12 states still lagging behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThe\u00a0<em>Child\u2019s Right Act<\/em>\u00a0(2003) must be strengthened to protect these vulnerable girls,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Iya commended the organisers of the programme, along with stakeholders who are advocates of girl-child education.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking, Ms Joylife Alegbemi beckoned on the federal and state governments to further strengthen policies that would get children off the streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlegbemi, who is a Swedish Ambassador, said that it was disheartening to see girls on the streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently I am working on a project called the\u00a0<em>Eye Subscribe Project<\/em>. It is aimed at promoting the rights and\u00a0 value, education and wellbeing of the girl-child in the society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very disheartening to see girls on the street because they are susceptible to various dangers like rape and\u00a0 many others that affect the girls in the society.<\/p>\n<p>Also contributing, the Chief Executive Officer of YAADAI, Saifullahi Khalil, stated that the vision and mission of the NGO was to ensure that every child had the right to life, survival and development.<\/p>\n<p>Khalil who is also the Speaker of\u00a0<em>Street Children Parliament<\/em>, added that YAADAI was also out to ensure that street children were carried along in decision making processes.<\/p>\n<p>He called on the government to assist the street children by engaging them in skills acquisition programme and sporting activities.<\/p>\n<p>In her remarks, the National Programme Officer of the United Nations Women,\u00a0Patience Ekeoba, stressed that street children were at risk of many dangers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThe UNICEF says Nigeria has hundreds of these children on the streets. This is a failure on the part of those who are saddled with the responsibility of taking care of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe have the Child\u2019s Rights Act which provides a robust framework on how we should protect our children but unfortunately, only 24 states have passed (the Act).<\/p>\n<p>\u201dI call on the government to put more money and investment into the care and support of these children,\u201d she urged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beyond Mentors Community Care Initiatives, a Non-Governmental Organisation has called for\u00a0urgent policies to discourage early marriage for underage girls in Nigeria.
