E also get di Anti-Torture Act 2017 wey dey based on article 19 of di United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT).

Dis laws forbid di use of child as labourers, or to torture dem any way or to deny dem from di opportunity to go school.

Dem say every pikin get right to live full life, right to get name, right to get family, right to play, right to health, right to education, right to dignity, plus odas.

Still, even wit dis laws, children for Nigeria  dey face abuse and torture, and most times pipo wey dey responsible for dis crimes against children dey go scut free without any punishment.
