(Lagos, December 26, 2015) SCOALE Entertainment,
REDI Nigeria and the HACEY in
partnership with Access Bank host the inaugural edition of the Queens for
Queens Benefit Dinner.
The Summit which is
scheduled to hold is on the 27th of December at the Oriental Hotel
is themed “Lending a Voice to the
Emancipation of the Girl Child”.
For several centuries,
the girl child has suffered marginalization, disregard and undermining. She has
been the victim of rape, early marriage, kidnap, abuse, slavery and several
other vices. The importance and significance of her empowerment has been
underestimated. Whilst she enjoys several privileges in some parts of the
world, she is still considered to be disadvantaged in most parts of the world,
Nigeria inclusive. She is still being stereotyped and restricted by various
glass ceilings that the society has created. Many times, she is told she will
not amount to much or nothing at all and she has believed it for many years,
thereby restricting herself to the confines of society’s dictates.
With over 20 million
girls in Nigeria between the ages of 10 and 19, it is imperative that the
movement for their emancipation is unhindered. This is the purpose for this
concert: to celebrate the girls who have broken free and to empower the others
to do same.
The dinner will be
highlighting issues concerning the gender inequality facing the girl child in
Nigeria. The REDI Education Development Initiative (an initiative that provides
education grant and mentorship to young girls in rural areas across Nigeria)
will be launched and funds will be raised to invest in the lives of a hundred
less privileged girls with N100,000:00 educational grant per child per cycle.
The event which is
strictly by invitation, will have in attendance CEOs, entertainers and beauty
queens who believe in and support the empowerment of the girl child.
