Children's Parliament to FG: Prioritise passage of Child Rights Act into national law

Members of the Children’s Parliament have called on the federal government to prioritise the passage of the Child Rights Act into a national law.

According to her, “it has been 10 years since the IDG started. 10 years of spotlighting the issues we are facing. 10 years of advocating for the protection of our lives and rights, and 10 years of coming back every year to say ‘not enough is being done'”. “The first step that Nigeria should take is to prioritise the passage of the Child Rights Act into a national law. This is because the CRA is a comprehensive document that clearly identifies the rights of children and provides sanctions to anyone who compromises those rights.”

She noted that all over the world, their right to education, mental health, physical wellness and the protection needed for a life free from violence are being threatened.
