This is coming after the organization launched its, ‘Too young to Marry’, magazine in Lagos state, to ensure the enactment of the by-law against child marriage in all local governments.
According to her, “Our advocacy journey started in Ojo local government area of Lagos before moving to Lagos Mainland in Ijora and Makoko communities which was aimed at working together with the local government officers and other people at the grassroots to advocate the enactment of the by-law against child marriage.
“Now, we are scaling up to Makoko and Ijora communities. Our objective was to identify 10 teenagers who are now survivors of child marriage. We are working with other civil society organizations within Ijora and Makoko and media partners who are collaborating with us in this advocacy. “Our goal was to advocate and convince the government at the grassroots level on the need to focus on rescuing the girl child by enacting the by-law against child marriage.
