Nigerian girl children still suffer different forms of child rights abuses ranging from forced marriage, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and limited education, among others, findings by the State of Nigerian Girls Summit (SONGS) have shown.
The group’s Steering Committee’s preliminary report on the 2024 state camps held nationwide highlights key findings and recommendations from extensive data collection and consultations.
Organised by the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs in partnership with various development partners, SONGS brings together government officials, international organisations, civil society organisations, and adolescent girls to raise awareness on Nigerian girls’ challenges.
