The Imo State government has been urged to implement gender-responsive measures that will transform the educational system and address the barriers inhibiting girl-child education in the state.
Director, The Inclusion Project (TIP), Pamela Okoroigwe made the appeal during a training and stakeholders meeting organised by TIP in partnership with Malara Fund in Owerri, the Imo state capital.
Okoroigwe also stressed the need for the new administration in Imo to provide a functional, safe, inclusive, and gender-responsive Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in schools to keep girls in school during their periods.
