Waje speaks for girl-child education


Waje

Sensational Nigerian singer, Aituaje Iruobe, aka Waje, who is an active ambassador of One Campaign, has continue to lend her voice to promoting the need for issues concerning women and the girl child to be given priority across the globe.

The mother of one stated that for gender equality to be a reality in Africa there is an urgent need to educate and empower women.

“For gender equality to be a reality in Africa, we must educate and empower women. We stand together #PovertyIsSexist: #62MillionGirls are out of school & that’s not okay,” she stated.

Sexism or gender discrimination which can be described as a prejudice or discrimination based on a person’s sex or gender, according to studies, is particularly documented as affecting mostly women and young girls.

This development has brought both Nigeria and international artistes together to compose songs to fight against this course.
