Hon. Olufunmilayo Iredee Oginni Celebrates Girl Child on international day of the Girl Child.

 

The Chairperson ELISAJOFA GLOBAL COMPANY,  Hon. Olufunmilayo Iredee Oginni has said achieving gender equality and girls empowerment is integral to each of the goals. Only by ensuring the rights of women and girls across all the goals will we get to Justice and inclusion, economies that work for all and sustaining our shared environment now and for future generations.

In a statement made available, Oginni said Education and learning are some of the best ways to empower girls and protect them against violence, exploitation and social exclusion by providing them with the opportunity to build a better life for themselves, their families and their communities.

"To make education and learning accessible and empowering for girls, it needs to be safe and gender sensitive. Because girls have higher risk than boys to experience violence, verbal and sexual abuse, a multi-sectoral approach is needed to address all risk factors and cases".

Sha said Youth-friendly, accessible and quality education and learning, health and social services are essential for girls' empowerment and their development.
