The Executive Director also underscored the importance of education in unlocking the full potential of women and girls.
“By ensuring equal access to quality education, we foster innovation and progress. Education is the foundation of empowerment,” Mrs. Daniel stated.
She also stressed the need for women’s participation in governance, calling for policies that prioritize gender equality.
“Women must have a seat at the table, shaping policies that affect their lives and communities.
“ Their voices are crucial in creating inclusive and effective governance,”she said.
According to her, as the world stands at a crucial moment in the pursuit of gender equality, We urged accelerated action on women’s rights at all levels.
“This is not just a women’s and girls’ issue; it is a societal imperative. When women and girls thrive, entire communities flourish,” Mrs Daniel concluded.
