As the world celebrates this year\u2019s international women\u2019s day , the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation( GJF),has said, priority should be given to issues of gender equality and inclusive governance in order to build a democratic, peaceful and sustainable country.<\/p>\n

A statement by the Communications Officer of the Foundation , Wealth Dickson Ominabo which was made available to Newsmen quoted the Executive Director of the foundation, Ann Iyonu, as saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cGender equality is not just about women\u2019s rights ,it is about justice , fairness , inclusive and accountable governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former President’s foundation therefore called on government and policy makers to work towards addressing all structural biases against women in our society, which the Foundation she said had identified as indices which would create safe spaces for women to contribute effectively to nation building .<\/p>\n

The GJF statement reads in parts: “On International Women\u2019s Day 2022, the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation (GJF) celebrate the Nigerian women and others across Africa for their contributions to peace, prosperity and sustainable development.<\/p>

\u201cThis year\u2019s theme: “Gender equality today for sustainable tomorrow” is a call to action on all citizens,especially governments and policy makers to break the bias against women in our society.<\/p>\n

\u201cGender equality is an important democratic right that is essential in building an inclusive society and addressing many of our challenges. Gender equality is not just about women\u2019s rights ,it is about justice , fairness , inclusive and accountable governance<\/p>\n

\u201cWe therefore lend our voice to those of other women calling for the prioritization of women\u2019s rights in the ongoing constitutional amendment process in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreaking all structural bias against women will create a safe space for women and girls to contribute more effectively towards the advancement of our society. This is the path towards securing a sustainable future for us and the upcoming generation. Happy International Women\u2019s day.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
