Women and girls globally remain the face of poverty but more so in the Sub Saharan Africa where the contexts has failed to adequately protect them from abuse which stems from their dependency and lack of a kick-start to pursue their desired dreams. The girl-child remains more vulnerable with more recorded cases of school dropouts, child marriages, and trafficking, forced sex work among other forms of abuse. In this time of Covid-19 crisis, more needs to be done to close these gaps and facilitate that young women’s access to education is guaranteed while facilitating and supporting their dream careers.
