Gender Equality

Considering the great role women have played in the socio-political development of Nigeria, it was pertinent to make the country’s overall political framework friendly to them. it would be impractical to talk about women’s involvement in politics if obvious political and social impediments were not removed.

COWACDI called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to come up with incentives that would encourage women to take part in political contests, including cutting down the cost of nomination forms for women.

COWACDI also congratulated women who won in the 2023 elections and enjoined them to use their positions to influence positive change.
