The female is not vulnerable,not an object
                  Who is the Girl child
The girl-child is a biological female offspring from birth to eighteen (18) years of age. This is the age before one becomes a young adult. This period covers the crèche, nursery or early childhood (0-5 years), primary (6-12 years) and secondary school (12-18 years). During this period, the young child is totally under the care of the adult who may be her parents or guardians and older siblings. It is made up of infancy, childhood, early and late adolescence stages of development. During this period, the child is malleable, builds and develops her personality and character. She is very dependent on the significant others, those on whom she models her behaviour, through observation, repetition and imitation. Her physical, mental, social, spiritual and emotional developments start and progress to get to the peak at the young adult stage.
The special circumstances in which girl-children (i.e. child labour and residency in overcrowded housing units) find themselves in urban Nigeria expose them to possible risks of physical, psychological and sexual abuse, which in turn increase their vulnerability to early pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. The importance of sexual abuse of the girl-child in urban Nigeria as a subject of enquiry can not be over-emphasised. While opinion is undivided on the socio-medical and psychological consequence of child sexual abuse, there are nevertheless, divergent explanations for the changing sexual mores in Africa. This study thus provides an analysis of the scope and determinants of child sexual abuse in Nigeria. The study was qualitative utilising Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and In-depth interviews (IDIs) to collect information from young girls and key-informants in Ibadan. It involved respondents from the three major socio-cultural groups namely Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.. Findings show that the concept of sexual abuse as understood by the respondents encapsulated many other behaviour other than sexual intercourse between an old male and a young girl, and that it is very wide in scope. Urban poverty was found to be the major determinant of sexual abuse. Although, no case of HIV/AIDS arising from sexual abuse was found, however, some victims complained of health problems such as sexually transmitted infections.

Not because am a girl you see me as a weaker vessel 
Not because am a female you see me as a sex slave 
Not because am a female you see me as a specie.
There's more to being a female than to be treated like a mere human.
I am more than FEMALE I am a QUEEN, that will rule a queen that delivers a queen that brings life respect me🤯
