Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Child rights advocacy is a critical aspect of ensuring the well-being, safety, and development of children in any society. In Nigeria, challenges such as child labor, early marriage, lack of access to education, and abuse continue to threaten the rights of children, particularly in regions like Wamakko LGA, Sokoto State. Media advocacy plays an essential role in addressing these issues by raising awareness, influencing public opinion, and pressuring stakeholders to take action.
Through investigative reporting, public service announcements, and feature stories, the media highlights violations of child rights and amplifies the voices of vulnerable populations. It also fosters dialogue among policymakers, non-governmental organizations, and communities. However, the effectiveness of media advocacy in promoting child rights in Wamakko LGA has not been comprehensively studied. This research investigates the impact of media efforts in advancing child rights and examines how these efforts contribute to policy changes and community awareness.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite numerous efforts to address child rights issues in Wamakko LGA, challenges persist due to cultural practices, inadequate enforcement of laws, and limited public awareness. While the media has a vital role in advocating for child rights, the extent of its impact in Wamakko LGA remains unclear. Factors such as limited access to media platforms, lack of specialized training for journalists, and societal resistance to change may hinder advocacy efforts. This study examines the impact of media advocacy on child rights in Wamakko LGA and identifies ways to enhance its effectiveness.
