Enugu State Ministry of Children, Gender Affairs and Social Development Advocates for Girl Child's Rights on 2023 International Day of the Girl Child


On this significant occasion of the 2023 International Day of the Girl Child, on behalf of the Ministry of Children, Gender Affairs, and Social Development, we urge all stakeholders, government agencies, civil society organizations, communities, and individuals to join hands with us in this noble mission hinged on advocating, empowering and protecting the Girl Child's Rights.Together, we can create an Enugu State where every girl can dream without limits, where her rights are respected, and where she can aspire to greatness.

Our team for this year, "Invest in Girl's Rights" resonates deeply with our commitment to empower and uplift the girl child in Enugu State. We recognize that girls are the future, and investing in their rights, opportunities, and well-being is not just a moral imperative but a strategic choice for our society's progress.

In our beloved state, we remain dedicated to fostering an environment where every girl child has the chance to thrive, grow, and achieve her full potential. Our programs and initiatives are designed to provide equal access to quality education, healthcare, and protection from all forms of violence and discrimination.

As we commemorate the International Day of the Girl Child, let us remember that the empowerment of girls is an investment in a brighter future for all. When girls are educated, when their rights are protected, and when they are given the opportunities they deserve, they become powerful agents of positive change in our society.

Let us work tirelessly to invest in girls' rights and ensure that every girl child in Enugu State grows up with the knowledge that her dreams are attainable and that she is a valued and equal member of our society.

Thank you, and let us move forward with a renewed commitment to empower, protect, and invest in the rights of the girl child in Enugu State.
