Statistics indicate that Africa has the youngest population in the world, making it the youngest continent in the world with at least 70% of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa being under the age of 30 years. Further reports show that a good number of these young people, at least 60% of them, are in learning institutions, places that have become soft and primary targets to elements of religious intolerance, radicalization, and violent extremism as they seek to recruit many more young people into their folds.
International Women’s Day (8th March) is a day for people around the world to join voices and call for equal rights, women’s rights, which are all human rights. It is also a day to commemorate the contributions of women in all spheres of life and celebrate their diversity.
