Worried by the endemic cases of rape and other gender-based violence afflicting children and women in the country, female change agents of Save the Children Internation (SCI), a non-governmental organisation, have vowed to end the scenario which they say robs children of the privilege to enjoy their rights and freedoms as enshrined in the nation’s constitution.
