I am appalled by the abduction of more than 300 girls during an attack on a secondary school in Nigeria today.
Attacks on schools are a heinous violation of human rights.
The girls must be released to their families immediately & unconditionally.
Study this comparative research to collect baseline data on School Related Gender Based Violence (SRGBV) in primary schools and learn about types, causes, and possible preventive measures.

It's Universal Children's Day. In line with this year's theme, we must review the investment made on the life of the African child. The quality of investment made on the children of a nation show the quality of its future.

It was great collaborating with @EVA_Nigeria to review the National Health Act to identify gaps and make adequate recommendations.
Notable recommendations is the inclusion of children and adolescents in IDPs due to humanitarian crisis and armed conflicts.
We condemn in entirety the gross attack and killing of children in a school in Cameroon.
On no account should children be targeted in armed conflicts. Children deserve safe spaces which schools provide, they should be safe while learning!
