GOODWILL MESSAGE FROM WOCON IN OBSERVANCE OF 16DAYS OF ACTIVISM AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2018: PRESS FOR PROGRESS
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.
