Creating awareness for the Girl's rights!

[@clarityschoolforgirls @clarityschool]

For a growing girl, life is much more than academics. Certain skills are necessary to become more effective as they grow into adulthood.

Self awareness, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, mindfulness. What do these mean to you?

In Nigeria, 43% of girls are married off before their 18th birthday. 17% are married before they turn 15.

Education is a major determinant of whether a girl will marry early or not.

The #GCS2018 is a gathering of multi faceted development stakeholders who provide concrete and implementable recommendations on how to better protect and promote girls rights through co-curricular programmes so that they particularly benefit the most marginalised girls.

At the #girlchildsummit, we believe that if the girl child has the right information and an enabling environment, the possibilities are endless.

Gender Inequality is costing sub- Saharan Africa almost six percent of the region's GDP; this is jeopardising the continent's effort for inclusive human development and economic growth- Source: African Human development report 2016.

With existing gender disparities, meeting #sdg5 by 2030 is bleak. Closing this gap will not just set Africa on a double digit economic growth track, it would also contribute to meeting it's development goals.

Dear Girl Child, sometimes you might think that your voice and opinions don’t matter, but they do. You were meant to be heard, so speak up!

Imagine a world where girls can thrive, inspire and succeed. #GCS2018 will put the spotlight on what needs to be done to overcome the barriers girls in Africa and at large.

It's easy to look at a situation, talk about it, brood over it and move on, but to create lasting change you must take action. If we must achieve our goals for #2030 we must not just talk, we must act!
