The African Centre for Leadership, Strategy & Development (Centre LSD) is pleased to announce the launch of its latest project, "Constitutional Inclusion of Women in Governance in Nigeria". Supported by the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) through the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), this project aims to enhance women's participation in Nigerian governance through constitutional reforms.
According to Project Lead, Mrs. Victoria Udoh, the project will address barriers to women's political participation, economic empowerment, education, and healthcare. Despite their significant contributions to societal development and constituting nearly half of the population, women's efforts are often overlooked.
The project seeks to leverage the ongoing constitutional review process to address challenges such as gender-based violence, educational inequalities, inadequate healthcare services, and underrepresentation in political offices. By promoting gender-sensitive legislation, Centre LSD aims to ensure women's participation in governance becomes a fundamental aspect of Nigeria's democratic framework.
Centre LSD invites members of the National Assembly, Civil Society Organizations, media, academia, and other stakeholders to partner on this project to collectively advocate and engage for the inclusion of women in governance #WomenCanLead###
