Support for Ebira Women and Girl Child Initiative (SEWGCI) a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) has called on the Federal Government to enact adequate policies that would checkmate child trafficking and end violence against women in the country.
Hajia Aminat Daniya Hamza, the President and Founder of the foundation made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in commemoration of the International Women’s Day Celebration.
NAN reports that the United Nations theme for 2022 International Women’s Day celebration is titled #Break The Bias#
Hajia Aminat maintained that setting up policies and strategies that were inclusive, accessible and affordable for women and girls in the country would encourage capacity building across sectors.
She said women contributed greater percentage of the voting population in Nigeria, hence the need for government and stakeholders to involve them in decision-making bodies was paramount.
According to her, women and girls should have a major role to play in governance, to restore their pride and dignity and encourage societal norms and values for nation building and development.
“The inclusion of women will enable them to decide on issues affecting their lives, especially as it relates to maternal and child mortality rate as well as empowerment.
“There is also need for the government at all levels to create an environment conducive for women participation in governance from the rural areas to the national level.
My son took Klonopin for 3 years. From the first month of administration, the drug stopped the attacks, but when examining the blood Klonopin showed excellent results. In December 2018, we cancelled it at the remission of 3 years. The price wasn’t a burden, as the paediatrician wrote us his prescription. The biggest disadvantage was that it had a negative effect on the liver, once every three months he took a course of hepatoprotectors. Read more at https://2yb.org/sleep-klonopin/.
“Achieving gender equality is not only vital to ensuring rural women have equal access to resources, food and public services but an important aspect of the global efforts to avoid and limit the worst effects of the climate crisis,” she said.
She added that the foundation had been empowering and promoting female education and providing educational support to young people through its female students’ scholarship scheme and skills campaigns.
Rural women, she said, represented the backbone of many communities but they continued to face obstacles that prevented them from realising their potentials and the impacts of inadequate policies added to their hardship.
On equality, she said that there was need to create opportunities for women especially at the rural areas by ensuring that they were educated.
However, said her organisation was also committed to working with government and civil society organisations to achieve global and regional gender equality and women empowerment in the context of humanitarian actions.
She called on women and girls in the country to be creative, innovative and self-reliant for capacity building and for the development of the country. (NAN)
