As the world commemorates the International Day of the Girl Child, UNICEF has called for collective action to end child marriage and ensure equal access to education and development opportunities for all children, particularly girls from poor and vulnerable families. The Chief of UNICEF Bauchi Field Office, Dr. Nuzhat Rafique, made the call during an event in Gombe under the theme 'End Child Marriage and Invest in Girls' Rights.' The event brought together traditional rulers, women's groups, development partners, media practitioners, and girls to discuss strategies for protecting girls' rights and improving their wellbeing.
