The Nigerian society is unequal and when viewed through the gender
\nprism, it is even more so. Statistics regarding the wellbeing of our
\nchildren \u2013 male and female \u2013 leave one with a sense of unease and
\nfearful apprehension. There are trends which, if not arrested and
\nreversed, spell doom for a future that already does not inspire much
\ncheer.<\/p>\n

With 64% of Nigerians living below the poverty line and 70% of children
\naffected by multi-dimensional poverty, it is no surprise that issues
\nlike low school enrolment, child marriage and other attendant challenges
\npersist.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that Nigeria accounts for 20% of the world\u2019s
\nout-of-school population and 45% of children out-of-school in West
\nAfrica. In the North-East and North-West regions, only 41% and 47% of
\neligible girls are enrolled in primary school and of this number, a
\nsignificant proportion do not go on to complete secondary education.<\/p>\n

The low level of education in girls cannot be divorced from other
\ndisheartening trends. 23 million girls and women married for the first
\ntime as children; not only is prevalent child marriage glaring proof of
\ninequality, it is also directly linked to low literacy levels. Child
\nbrides are also less likely to seek or receive medical attention during
\npregnancy and this, no doubt, bears some impact on the maternal
\nmortality rate. For every 100,000 live births in Nigeria, 576 women die.
\nThis number is only better than figures recorded in three other
\ncountries, namely: Sierra Leone, Central Africa Republic and Chad.<\/p>\n

On the political front, in recent years, we have witnessed a steady
\ndecline in the representation of women in governance. This is even as we
\nhave not been able to attain 10% representation for women across board
\nsince the return to democracy in 1999. Currently, women\u2019s
\nrepresentation stands at 6.42% in the Senate and 3.05% in the House of
\nRepresentatives, with four female deputy governors across the country
\nand 40 women legislators in state parliaments. The low level of
\nwomen\u2019s participation and representation in governance can be traced
\nto issues such as lack of financial capacity, low literacy levels and
\ndiscriminatory attitudes, among others. Many of these factors are
\ndetermined by conditions in which girls are raised and are, therefore,
\nalready in effect during childhood.<\/p>\n

Yet another manifestation or consequence of the inequality in which the
\nNigerian girl child is brought up is apparent in health indices and
\nother social indicators.<\/p>\n

Only 29.3% of young women (aged between 15-24) correctly identify ways
\nto prevent HIV transmission. Only half of the female population aged
\nbetween 15-49 are aware of how HIV transmission from mother to child can
\nbe prevented. 33.7% of women aged between 15-49 justify domestic
\nviolence and only 41% of pregnant women aged 15-49 receive ante-natal
\ncare.<\/p>\n

Sexual exploitation and molestation of girls and (young) women calls for
\nserious concern; 15.1% of young women aged 15-24 had their first sexual
\nencounter before they turned 15, 41.2% of whom engage(d) in sexual
\nrelationships with men who are 10 years older (or more).<\/p>\n

Considering the relatively low level of awareness about HIV and other
\nSTDS, it is extremely alarming that condom use with non-regular partners
\nstands at 46.6%. What this likely points to is lack of agency and that
\nsexual relations\/interactions are steeped in inequality.<\/p>\n

The internet presents many of Nigeria\u2019s youth with opportunities
\nbeyond their geographical location and helps a great deal in acquiring
\nskills which are often not taught within the classroom, or which they or
\ntheir parents cannot afford to pay for. However, even when it comes to
\ninternet use, young women are at a disadvantage with only 13.4% (as
\nopposed to 20.6% of young men) having access to a computer and 17.3% (as
\nopposed to 32% of men in the same age bracket) using the internet.<\/p>\n

What the quoted figures \u2013 and others \u2013 show is that a lot of work
\nneeds to be done to improve the welfare and living conditions of
\nchildren and young people across board, but with more emphasis when it
\ncomes to reaching girls and young women.<\/p>\n

Social dictates which limit the aspirations of women are equally present
\nat childhood, directing what girls can or cannot be interested in before
\nthey are capable of developing an informed world view. These figures
\ntell us that there can be no marked improvement in the maternal
\nmortality rate or the prevalence of child marriage if our girls are not
\nenrolled in school, and if they do not remain in school.<\/p>\n

These statistics show that if indeed we are serious about enhancing the
\nrepresentation of women in governance, then as we build the capacity of
\nthose who are grown and interested in politics, we must also place the
\nfeet of our daughters on the path to political prominence by giving them
\neducation and providing opportunities for subsequent economic
\nempowerment while also\u00a0 countering discriminatory rhetoric.<\/p>\n

There are many challenges facing girls and women in different parts of
\nthe country and we must design and implement effective policies as we
\nsimultaneously execute behavioural change campaigns tailored to each
\nchallenge and the region in which it occurs. It would be an egregious
\nerror to assume that one-minute adverts on national TV or radio in the
\nthree major languages, pidgin and English, would undo the work that
\ncenturies of conditioning has done.<\/p>\n

We need strong laws and an efficient justice system. There are frequent
\nreports of girls and women being raped; often, perpetrators are let off
\nwith a slap on the wrist. As shown by the recent sex for grades
\ndocumentary by BBC Africa, sexual harassment and exploitation are the
\norder of the day in our academic institutions. This happens in other
\nsectors as well and it persists because culprits are seldom held
\naccountable.<\/p>\n

At the federal level, the Ministry of Women Affairs must be more
\nproactive and all institutions charged with the responsibility of
\ncreating a more equal world for girls and women need to be granted
\nfunding that is commensurate with the enormous challenges which need to
\nbe tackled.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, every policy at federal and state levels should have a
\ngender component and the Gender and Equal Opportunity Bill needs to be
\nrevisited by the Ninth National Assembly. States which have domesticated
\nthe Child Rights Act or have passed their version of a child protection
\nlaw should work towards better implementation\/enforcement, while
\nadvocacy efforts should be targeted at those states which are yet to do
\nthis.<\/p>\n
