Objectives:

iii. To build partnerships and give voice to the voiceless through sensitization and rights education.

This year’s theme highlighted efforts to make education more inclusive and accessible for all youth, including efforts by youth themselves. Rooted in Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”

In Nigeria, the UN’s theme for the 2019 IYD “Transforming Education” was localized by Nigeria Youth SDG to “Amplifying Youth Voices for the SDGs.” This program which was done to simplify the understanding of SDGs in Nigeria, was organized by Justice, Development and Peace/Caritas (JDPC) Onitsha in partnership with Development Centre for Orientation, Discovery and Empowerment (DeCODE) and Pro-Value Human Foundation (PHF), Nigeria.

JDPC in partnership with Education Office, Archdiocese of Onitsha used this day to organize sensitization programme on importance of maintaining good hygiene during menstruation and sex education in secondary schools. The conscientization programme targeted junior secondary school students. A total of 4 schools (QRC Onitsha, Regina Pacis Onitsha, Mercy Girls’ and Mater Amabilis both in Umuoji) were visited with a population of 3,200 direct target beneficiaries. The 9 facilitators that visited these schools in group of 2 comprised JDPC Team and the Morality Rescue Team contracted by the Onitsha Archdiocesan Education Office.

Regrettably, our environment is dirty and this calls for prompt action from all quarters to make sure that our ecosystem is secured and protected. JDPC also used the opportunity to express concern on the rate of noise pollution that has constituted so much nuisance to our environment and many other dangers associated with it.

According to recent reports, more than 152 million children are still in child labour. This issue formed part of the sensitization programmes. Other issues highlighted during the sensitization are:

Children should not work in fields but on dreams.
No school for a child is an abuse.
Time for school for a child is not time to make money etc.
