First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has called for more concerted efforts at checking gender based violence.
Buhari made the plea in a message she shared on Twitter via her verified handle, @aishambuhari, to commemorate this year’s international day of the girl child.
Her post read: “Today, I join millions of girls around the world to celebrate this year’s international day of the girl child, the theme for this year is “GirlForce: Unscripted and Unstoppable”. I am happy to note the progress that has been made in the area of activism by girls to protect their gender.
“I want to state that more needs to be done especially to address gender based violence which seems to be more pronounced recently. All hands must be on deck to achieve this.”
