On this World Day for the Prevention of and Healing from Child Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse 2025 with the theme,“Strengthening the Protection of Children Against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse Through Evidence-Based Policy Making,” we are reminded that protecting children must go beyond words and good intentions. It demands informed action, guided by accurate data, research, and sound policies.
As a nation, we must ensure that every child grows up free from fear and harm. I call on government agencies, civil society, traditional and religious leaders, parents, and young people to work together to create a protective environment where children can feel safe to thrive.
May God Protect all our Children
Her Excellency,
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON
First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
