With the theme “What Society Does to Us,” the movie serves as a wake-up call for stronger protective policies, increased awareness, and community-driven interventions to safeguard vulnerable girls across Nigeria.

It also urges immediate action from key stakeholders, including families, communities, and policymakers.
