1. Executive summary

Out of 1,600 questionnaires distributed, 1,562 were returned. 30 were not returned at all, 5 were returned unanswered, while 3 were spoiled. Some questions went unanswered – this is indicated in the collected data.

According to the findings, children’s understanding of human rights is encouraging, since 70.2% of respondents were able to understand and even elaborate on some types of rights. 97.9% meanwhile indicated that they have rights.

Similarly, 65% of children stated that child rights violation is an important issue, due to the negative impact it has on child development. 49% of respondents considered child sexual abuse the worst form of child rights violation, since it affects the dignity of the human being. This was followed by other forms of violation, at 27%.

When it comes to exercising/accessing rights, 76.5% of respondents declared that difficulties exist. 34.3% considered the difficulties emanate from the home, while 28% blamed the government for not providing an environment in which rights can be exercised and accessed. 16% blamed their community, while 12% blamed their school.

According to 86.3% of respondents, implementation of child rights protection law in Kano is important and would have significant benefits. 48.3% stated that children would be the biggest beneficiaries of its implementation. 54.8% are of the view that a combination of children, parents and communities would play a significant role in its implementation. 89.1% agreed that the condition of children’s lives would be changed if it were implemented, while 94.6% would participate fully in a campaign for its introduction.

50% of respondents stated that established beliefs and practices hinder the bringing about of children’s rights. 12% considered child labour to be the practice that affects children in the most detrimental way, while 7.8% considered female genital mutilation the worst practice. 27% of respondents claimed that other forms of beliefs and practices, such as tribal marks, almajiri, and so on, are glaring issues that violate child rights.

3. Objectives2. Introduction

The aim of the survey is to find out the status of children in terms of knowledge, attitude and practice.

The overall objectives are:

• To understand which issues children find most important in terms of their rights.

• To understand the obstacles children face in exercising their rights.

• To obtain the opinions of children in regard to the advantages and disadvantages of implementing the Child Rights Act in Kano State.

• To assess children’s level of knowledge and perception of their rights.

• To understand the nature and prevalence of specific beliefs and practices that put children at risk, or compromise the effectiveness of protection mechanisms.

• To gather information about what respondents know about specific child protection issues, what they think about those issues, and how that influences their actions.

• To identify knowledge gaps, cultural beliefs or common practices that may protect or pose a risk to children’s well-being.

• To support the design and planning of information, communication and education activities.

• To build a compelling evidence base in support of advocacy efforts.

• To mobilise community groups for action.

VSO Nigeria is currently implementing an EU-EIDHR project on child rights protection and participation. It should be noted that children currently participate little in matters affecting them, whether in children’s institutions, communities, families, or judicial and administrative procedures. There is limited understanding of children’s rights, which hinders their protection.

In order for children’s voices to be heard, a survey is key. Using children in a survey is highly relevant, and will have a significant impact on them, their future, their parents/guardians, and their community.

The aim of the survey is to create the need for effective measures to be taken to enhance understanding of the rights of the child. Plus, for the information to be made available in all institutions attended by children and at all levels of society. The survey was conducted in order to identify the importance, relevance and impact of child protection law within Kano State. It is also geared towards creating a critical mass to mobilise efforts towards securing legal protection for children there.

The survey is an integral part of the intervention that is intended to support an enabling environment for the implementation of the Child Rights Act at state level. It also adopts a strong participatory role for children, so that they can develop their capacity to realise their rights through child-friendly methods of engagement.

Tools and processes of data collection

Research assistants – trained students selected from various secondary schools within the research area – helped administer the questionnaire. Each research assistant was given 40 copies of the questionnaire, with responsibility for distributing, administering and collecting them back for processing.

The research assistants were given a free hand in selecting respondents either from their schools or from their homes. The questionnaire combined both structured and non-structured questions. This was firstly to control the responses, and secondly to test the respondents’ level of knowledge with questions that needed explanation.

Out of 1,600 questionnaires distributed, 1562 were returned. In the course of processing the data, as anticipated, it was observed that most of the non-structured questions were left blank or not answered fully. This led the researchers to consider the missing information as qualitative data revealing the respondents’ low level of knowledge on human rights. Meanwhile, the quantitative data collected from the structured questions, though not always complete, was analysed and presented accordingly.

Scope of work

The study covered selected schools from the 6 metropolitan local government areas of Kano State, comprising Gwale, Fagge, Tarauni, Nasarawa, Dala, and Kano Municipal Council. The total number surveyed was 1,600 students. Although parents and guardians were not included in the survey, their opinions should be sampled in future research, to find out why some rights of children are yet to be passed into law.

The above tables and chart represent the respondents’ demographic information. Out of 1,562 respondents, 72.90% are female while 27.10% are male. This ratio is not unconnected. More emphasis was given to girls when distributing the questionnaires, since they are the most vulnerable group when it comes to rights violations, particularly in the areas of education and cultural rights.

There are more respondents aged 15 – 20 (55.9%) than aged 10 – 14 (44.1%). In terms of educational level however, there are more juniors (51.0%) than seniors (48.8%). This shows that while some respondents are in the higher age range, they’re at junior level due to other factors. Though the Dropout percentage (0.2%) is minimal, the figure is still a cause for concern.

The above table shows respondents’ experience of completing a questionnaire in relation to their level of education. There were more children who hadn’t previously completed one in the senior class (58.6%) than in the junior class (36.5%).

Amongst those with previous experience of questionnaires, the juniors show a higher percentage (82.2%) than seniors (17.6%). Dropouts meanwhile are all inexperienced (0.3%). This reveals that of the total respondents, 71.3% were experiencing a questionnaire for the first time.

The above table reveals the respondents’ understanding of what a right is, and their ability to name any form of right they know. 89.2% understood the meaning of rights and mentioned some types of rights, while 10.8% had no idea.

The table above explained the respondents’ views on whether they have rights and how it conflict with religious, cultural or traditional values. Out of the respondents, 97.3% are of the view that they have rights and it does not conflict with their religion, cultural or tradition. While1.7% indicated that rights are in conflict with their religion while only 1.0% opined that they don’t know whether it is in conflict or not.

Table: Class of respondents

The survey chose the above age bracket of respondents, as they relate to school age. At this age respondents are more mature, can communicate freely between themselves, and can read, write and answer the simple questions posed by the questionnaire.

The survey excluded out-of-school respondents even though there is a large proportion of them in society. It was felt that children in school are more literate than those outside the school environment. While the Dropout category in the table above was not initially included, it came about as a result of research assistants conducting the survey at home as well as in school.

In the above table, 85.2% of respondents understood the concept of human rights. They indicated that children are also human beings and deserved rights. 9.6% could not understand the concept and stated that children have no rights, while 3.7% had no idea at all. Those that stated that children have no rights, as well as the ‘don’t knows’, lacked awareness of the concept of human rights. This is because they lack the basic knowledge and therefore misconceive the notion.

Table: Respondents’ awareness on child rights protection law in Kano State

The above table reveals the respondents’ views on the importance of children rights, and whether there are difficulties in exercising/accessing such rights. 95.2% stated that children’s right are important, but out of these 76.1% agreed that children face difficulties accessing them. This indicates that due to the non-availability of a single, comprehensive legal document on children’s rights in Kano State, children are facing challenges.

The table above reveals the respondents’ knowledge of forms of child abuse as part of human rights violation. Child sexual abuse is highest, 49.5% being a reflection of its prevalence in Kano State. This is followed by child labour with 14.1% – a glaring figure and a result of child hawking and the use of domestic maids. Female genital mutilation comes next with 8.9% – a cultural phenomenon that is declining due to a widespread awareness campaign against the practice. Lastly, 27.4% of respondents were aware of other aspects of child abuse.

The above table reveals the respondents’ perception of the existence of child rights violations. 73.5% indicated that they do exist, while 26.5% indicated that they do not exist. The advocacy campaign needs to be strengthened in order to change the negative perception. This table reveals the respondents’ intention

to participate (94.6%) in a campaign for the implementation of child protection law.

Only 5.4% indicated that they would not participate.

The above table reveals where respondents believe difficulties in exercising and accessing rights originate from. 34.3% consider that it’s from the home, 14.6% that it’s from the school, 18.5% that it’s from the community, and 32.6% that it’s from the government. This reveals the urgent need for child rights protection law from the authorities and wider community, to provide a framework for treatment of children at home and in school.

The above table reveals the respondents’ opinion on child rights violation and its impact on child development. 63% stated that child rights violation has a negative effect on all aspects of child development, while 31.9% stated that violation of rights has no impact on child development. This may be unconnected to lack of awareness, and more to do with sticking to negative cultural and traditional practices.

In the above table, 46.0% respondents are not aware of any child rights law in Kano State. However, they indicated that its implementation would bring about a positive change in the condition of children’s lives. 42.6% are of the opposite opinion: they are aware of its existence but believe that it would not bring about any improvement. 11.4% have no idea in relation to its impact when implemented. This is a high percentage – children’s awareness needs to be strengthened in this regard.

The above table shows the respondents’ ignorance of child rights protection law. 53% indicated that it does exist in Kano State, while 46.9% indicated that it does not exist. The latter is correct. Therefore advocacy to schools needs to be strengthened.

7. Recommendations

A. With regard to the Council of Ulama under the Sharia Commission in Kano State and the drafted bill on the Child Protection Law, the impact of administering this questionnaire will provide a prompt and conducive environment for children to exercise their rights without much hindrance. Equally, it will safeguard their future by making their communities fully aware of such rights, and will be complied with accordingly. A survey of this nature gives parents/guardians the chance to improve the moral training they give their children, as well as provide them with opportunities to share and discuss any challenges they may come across. Equally, if the government implements the law, it will not only ease and promote child protection in the general sense, but will also comply with modern juvenile justice administration in cases that involve children in conflict and in contact with the law.

B. The children’s responses to questions 12 and 13 in particular are mostly on the negative side. This indicates their inability to differentiate between exercising and accessing their rights. Therefore VSO and other stakeholder organisations should create an effective team to work with the state ministry of education, to review the civic education syllabus and to elaborate more on human rights issues for a better understanding of the concept.

C. There were earlier campaigns for children’s rights implementation in Kano State, but they focused on the wrong target – government institutions. This time the focus will be on traditional and religious leaders, since they play a major role in the compliance of law, policies and positive norms and values. There is therefore a continuing need for advocacy, sensitisation and awareness programmes (media and outreach campaigns) that will enlighten stakeholders and the general public towards a realisation of the importance and implementation of children’s rights law in Kano State.

D. There was a similar advocacy programme under the Kano State Ministry of Women Affairs, but this was targeted at girls/child education in some selected local government areas only. It did however yield fruitful results. Hence the need for VSO and its partners to organise a sensitisation/awareness campaign on child rights that can cover the 44 local governments of Kano State, to reach the larger society and gain more grassroots support for the implementation of the child rights law.

E. In the case of child sexual abuse, Section 284 of the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria provides that “Whoever has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to fourteen years and shall also liable to fine”. Therefore VSO and its partners should facilitate better communication between key stakeholders in juvenile justice administration, such as the Nigeria Police Force, Ministry of Justice (DPP and citizens’ rights) Legal Aid Council, NHRC, NBA, FIDA, the judiciary (designate for juvenile cases) and Ministry of Women Affairs (child and social welfare department). This would facilitate handling, advising, prosecuting and speedy dispensation of cases that involve children in conflict with the law, and at the same time create a means of support for child victims, particularly rape victims.

It would also mean that the established justice sector reform within the state under the office of the Attorney General would improve and expand its services, not only to vulnerable children but also to victims of circumstance such as rape and other abuses. In addition, it would allow the Ministry of Women Affairs to formulate a social policy covering all children and young persons under its social welfare department programmes within the state. This would ultimately promote speedy dispensation of juvenile cases, particularly those in conflict with the law in terms of police investigation, remand and rehabilitation purposes.

F. Calling for the implementation of the child rights protection law is an issue that has faced multiple challenges before. Therefore, a proper study of the situation is very much needed to avert previous results. The reasons that previous attempts failed include misconception by the Council of Ulamas – the highest council that dictates religious affairs in the state – together with low levels of literacy and non-participation of children in the designing and implementation process of the act.

G. VSO should identify key players and consult with them before proceeding. A major reason for this is that previously, the whole issue was misinterpreted religiously. Therefore additional consultation should be given to religious and traditional leaders, in order to avoid any wrongful perceptions.

H. VSO should mobilise children for a rally at the Governor’s Office and Kano State House of Assembly, to voice their demands for the implementation of the child protection law. A precedent would be the Kano State chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association’s campaign against rape and other sexual offences, whereby the Attorney General took over many cases pending in various courts, substituting police prosecutors with state counsels and yielding positive results. The rally could take place on Children’s Day, when all relevant stakeholders could attend the ceremony.

I. Further study is recommended, covering children both in-school and out-of-school as well as formal Sand informal schoolchildren. This would provide a range of opinions and enlightenment on children’s rights.


8. Conclusion 10. Appendix 19. Bibliography

Considering the responses from children, this study is the first of its kind. Dealing with aspects of children’s rights, it demonstrates the respondents’ zeal and willingness to participate in a campaign for child’s rights implementation. It also shows that a tactical approach is needed in order to ensure a smooth journey to successful implementation, as contained in the recommendations above.

The whole programme was interesting, with both the students and their guides participating actively towards its success. The programme officers too were equally active and diligent throughout the exercise.

At the same time the survey shows that significant numbers of students are yet to fully understand their rights. As such their perception of child rights is average, and they need viable and sound knowledge on rights not only to answer any formal document, but also to become fully acquainted about human rights issues.

Feedback from the stakeholders, children and CSO on the child-led survey Report

• There should be ongoing awareness of child rights, and this should be communicated in different ways, through media, advocacy, and sensitisation of communities at local government level.

• There is a need to use civil society organisations to educate children about their rights, and children should be involved in any rights-based activities, since their voices are very important in this.

• There is a need to use radio to create awareness of children expressing their rights. This should be done at least once in a month through radio jingles.

• The government needs to be lobbied to protect rights of children.

• Children’s Day is a good avenue for child rights. The day should be used wisely in order to communicate messages to the country’s leaders.

• Primary school teachers should be trained on child rights, because they are children’s first contact at school.

• There is a need to translate basic child rights into Hausa, and make this available for public consumption.

• There is a need to use the School Base Management Committee in schools, to encourage children to voice their problems.

• Child rights activities should be expanded to the rest of the local government areas, since there are 44 of these in the state.

• The results should be presented to high-level targeted stakeholders (district heads, Ulama, Hisbah, Policymaker, and government).

• The Council of Ulama should be involved in awareness on sexual abuse, child labour, rights, and responsibilities of parents, children and community.
