    "content": "been on the rise in the country and that they ordinarily take long to investigate and resolve, causing untold suffering to the victims. The petitioners, therefore, pray that amongst other legislative interventions, the National Assembly causes a review of the existing policy and legal framework notably, the Children Act 2003, to enable the girl-child to easily identify, prevent and effectively respond to any instances of gender-based violence. The petitioners also pray that the House legislates comprehensively to fully actualise the enjoyment and protection of children’s rights as enshrined in our Constitution, noting that the Children Act of 2003 came into force before the 2010 Constitution. Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.227, this Petition, therefore, stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for consideration. I urge the Committee to engage the petitioners and report its findings to the House within 60 days or even earlier. In the meantime, as I allow Members to make limited comments, I will allow the petitioners who are at the Bar to take the seats to be provided by the Serjeant-at-Arms. You can open the Bars now."
