GIRLS’ EDUCATION CANNOT WAIT!

Save the Children in Nigeria, on the occasion of the International Day of the Girl 2018, calls for a stronger coordination and effective responses across the education, health, nutrition, protection, economic and justice sectors in order to improve the lives of many disadvantaged girls. Save the Children urges for an increased investment on improving the quality of, and access to, primary and secondary education in particular as well as the development and implementation of a multisectoral action plan to strengthen girls equal access to, and completion of, quality education that empowers them to make an informed decision on issues that affect them - including early child and forced marriage.
