Iwd where is the equality nigerian women ask government

I think you meant to ask "IWD: Where is the equality Nigerian women ask government?"

International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8th every year to recognize the achievements of women and to raise awareness about the challenges they face. In Nigeria, women have been advocating for equality and justice, but there is still a long way to go.

Here are some of the key issues Nigerian women are asking the government to address:

  1. Gender-based violence: Nigerian women face high rates of gender-based violence, including domestic violence, sexual harassment, and human trafficking. They are demanding stronger laws and enforcement to protect them from these abuses.
  2. Economic empowerment: Women in Nigeria face significant barriers to economic empowerment, including limited access to education, healthcare, and financial opportunities. They are asking for policies and programs that promote women's economic empowerment and reduce gender inequality.
  3. Political representation: Nigerian women are underrepresented in politics, holding only about 6% of parliamentary seats. They are demanding greater representation and participation in political decision-making processes.
  4. Access to education and healthcare: Women in Nigeria often have limited access to quality education and healthcare, which can have long-term consequences for their health, well-being, and economic opportunities. They are asking for increased investment in these areas.
  5. Ending child marriage: Child marriage is a significant problem in Nigeria, with many girls being forced into marriage before the age of 18. Women are demanding an end to this practice and greater protection for girls' rights.
  6. Addressing maternal mortality: Maternal mortality rates in Nigeria are high, with many women dying during childbirth or soon after. Women are asking for improved healthcare services, including access to skilled birth attendants and emergency obstetric care.
  7. Promoting women's rights: Nigerian women are demanding greater recognition and protection of their human rights, including the right to equality, non-discrimination, and freedom from violence.

These are just a few examples of the issues Nigerian women are asking the government to address. On International Women's Day and throughout the year, women in Nigeria are working to create a more just and equitable society for all.
