According to Ms Lamptey, girls’ education is pivotal to the overall development of the country.
“If girls spent more time in schools, it will ensure marriage is delayed and ultimately, the population is controlled; when we ensure the rights of girls, we are creating a better world for both genders. On the rising cases of rape and sexual abuse, Lamptey lamented the horrendous figures and the unabated rise in rape and sexual abuse against girls and women.According to the United Nations , the world is home to more than 1.1 billion girls under the age of 18, who are poised to be change-makers, female leaders and policy-influencers.
Corroborating Lamptey, Nigeria’s foremost data research and analytics organisation, Dataphyte, said 66 per cent of Nigerian female have no decision-making power in marriage, adding that the situation calls for sober reflection and policy change.
