An international women rights organisation under the aegis of Baobab for Women's Human Rights on Friday said the harsh economic situation of Nigeria has made many girls and women vulnerable to harmful practices including commercial sex and child marriage.

An international women rights organisation under the aegis of Baobab for Women’s Human Rights on Friday said the harsh economic situation of Nigeria has made many girls and women vulnerable to harmful practices including commercial sex and child marriage.

The Executive Director of BWR, Bunmi Dipo-Salami, raised this point during an interactive session with the Journalists in Abuja, with the theme: ‘Let’s end violence against women and girls now.’Dipo-Salami said women who were reliant on daily wages were mainly victims when the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2019 due to economic decline.

Dipo-Salami said, “Gender-based violence is one of the world’s most prevalent human rights violations, taking place every day, many times over, in every corner of the globe. Current estimates show that one in three women will experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, perpetrated in private and public arenas by an intimate partner, family, neighbours, employers, instructors, supervisors, colleagues, religious and cultural leaders, or strangers.
