Morenike Kasim from Asa and Oluwabukola Rajin from Ilorin South identified bullying and sexual assaults as other forms of child abuses prevalent in their localities.

The programme themed “State Of The Nigerian Girl Summit Songs 2022” is aimed at documenting various issues of child abuse in the state.

Films and videos were shown to the participants on documented cases of gender -based violence and child abuse.

Declaring the programme open, an Assistant Director, Child's Directorate, Ministry of Women Affairs, Hajia Idiat Alabi- Amuda, urged the participants to feel free to disclose the abuses they had suffered in their respective localities.
