A non-governmental organization has sensitised Muslim women and girls in Kaduna State on how to address issues of child molestation, sex education and early marriage in their respective societies.

In a seminar on child molestation and abuse organized by the Sisters of Jannah (SOJ) in Kaduna, the NGO said the move would help to tackle the numerous challenges and chart a way forward.

Speaking at the seminar, the SOJ coordinator in Kaduna Zone, Bilkisu Abdulmumin, said it was aimed at educating women, children and young girls on ways to effectively communicate when they encounter such challenges.

She noted that physiologists and doctors held separate sessions for children and single ladies on spotting the red flags and choosing a life partner, adding that parents should take up the responsibilities of raising God-fearing children.

One of the speakers and the representative of the Islamic Online University (IOU) in Kaduna, Sherifa Yakub, commended the initiative and said it will go a long way in addressing many challenges in communities.
