Education of girls remains a veritable tool for achieving gender equality, the Executive Director, UN Population Fund, Prof. Babatunde Osotimehin, has said.
Osotimehin said this in Abuja when he visited the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs Josephine Anenih.
He said, “The first intervention, I think most important and effective is the education of young girls; countries where this happens successfully, it has improved the social lives and also given dignity to women.”
Responding, Anenih said more advocacy activities would be embarked upon to bring up women’s issues and concerns.
