Our daughters are the future of our country, beyond being our children, they are the future mothers that would shape the Children our tomorrow that is why we cannot afford to neglect them or overlook their Plight. Beyond every reasonable doubt should we continue to treat our daughters like second class weaker vessels, Nigeria would have slim or no chances.

Here is a clarion call to us all to build and re-build our nation builders. We must discourage discrimination, Child marriages and dehumanization against our daughters. Their rights and privileges must be advocated and we must collectively fight poverty in this respect.

This is why IAC is calling out to as many as interested voluntaries to put in their little token into the actualization of this modest Goal.
