As part of its programme, GPI organises an essay, debate and quiz activity with local schools. The idea is to introduce a fun and competitive element to passing on information relating to sexual health and gender issues.
This year's theme for the essay writing and debate was how to eliminate harmful traditional practices affecting women and young girls. The essays and verbal debates were of great quality, with participants discussing ways to eliminate practices such as female genital mutilation, early marriage, son preference and widowhood rites.
There was also a general knowledge quiz and a drama competition which were great! Its no wonder Nigeria produce so many movies with all these talented actors around!
It was great to see how informed these young people are, and it gives hope that these harmful practices may begin to stop as these generations grow and become the new leaders.
