Over the years, hundreds of thousands of children throughout the world have taken part in the Global March to ban child labour, How can we not do everything in our power to free each child on this planet from this scourge? How can we fail to free ourselves from our personal ans professional blinkers that prevent us from seeing abuse and injustice?
Although it is believed that gender parity is still about 200 years away from being a reality, it is important to note that women, especially as a marginalized group, can #pressforprogress by challenging stereotypes and bias, forging positive visibility of women, influencing others‘ positive beliefs, maintaining a gender parity mindset and celebrating women’s achievements.
In Nigeria, gender parity is almost appearing to be non-achievable except for the strives and efforts of some State and non-State actors.
