Mrs. Bake outlined several factors contributing to the exploitation of the girl-child, including poverty, gender discrimination, societal and religious barriers, and instances of sexual violence.

Represented by a director in the ministry, Mrs. Victoria Funmilayo, the permanent secretary outlined the many challenges facing girls worldwide to include poverty, illiteracy, gender discrimination, religious and societal limitations and sexual violence.

To address these challenges, she advocated increased awareness and empowerment of girls through education, economic and social support, and psychological tools.
