Today, I woke up to heartfelt messages from many male gender on my WhatsApp, expressing their concern about how the boy child receives little or no attention. This agitation was brought about as a result of the post I made yesterday.( Check my timeline to catch a glimpse) Same write-up was also posted on my WhatsApp Statuse. One of them said "Only a few NGOs caters for the needs of boys, most of them focus on girls" Their message resonated deeply with me. This is me voicing their concerns and adding my voice to theirs to amplify the message. Let's give the boy child the attention he deserves. They need it now more than ever.

I am calling on NGOs, International Organizations, Media, Parents, Educators and other stakeholders to pay attention to the boy child as well. As the navigate through life, they also needs our attention and guidance, they should not be left alone. Let's work together to ensure that both our boys and girls receive the guidance and support they need to thrive. #Equality #GenderEquality #BoyChildAlsoNeedsAttention #NoneIsToBeLeftBehind #Inclusiveness

Boys, like girls, face unique challenges and need our guidance and mentorship to develop into responsible and empathetic individuals. Ignoring their needs not only hampers their growth but also impacts the well-being of society as a whole.
