Nigerian Girl Guides Advocate for Gender-Based Violence Education in Curriculum
The Nigerian Girl Guides Association, led by Tejiri Okeregb, is pushing for the integration of gender-based violence education into the national curriculum to empower girls and address societal issues. The movement aims to help girls overcome stereotypes, develop leadership skills, and protect themselves from violence.
With over 40,000 registered members across Nigeria, the organization emphasizes the importance of preparing young girls to navigate life's challenges and become responsible citizens. Despite existing laws like the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act, poor implementation remains a significant obstacle.
