The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation has called on government and other stakeholders to address structural biases against women and girls in order to build an equitable and peaceful society.<\/p>\n

Executive Director of the Foundation, Ms Ann Iyonu in a message to mark this year\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day, said that this year\u2019s celebrations call for urgent action towards eliminating gender violence as well as the need for increased investment in technology for women and girls.<\/p>\n

The Foundation noted Nigerian women have been making significant contributions towards sustainable development of the country; it is therefore timely for governments across levels to initiate policies and programmes that will address the systemic biases against women.<\/p>\n

The Statement from the Jonathan Foundation reads: “The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation celebrates with Nigerian women and others across the world on this year\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day. We acknowledge and appreciate the strides and notable contributions of women toward sustainable development and nation building.<\/p>
