The founder, School of Politics, Policy and Governance, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, says focus on policies that encourage gender equality and inclusion help in building progressive and resilient societies.
“The idea that women can participate fully in society is an idea that requires behavior modification,” she said.
According to her, gender equality and inclusion is not a free gift to women but about the society caring for its own advancement. She noted that the diplomatic arena was always one of those that women found difficult to penetrate and lauded the power of collaboration projected by the diplomatic missions that jointly organised the IWD awards.She added that by celebrating women, one of the evidences that would move to action was the idea of role modelling.
“If women don’t gain political currency, they cannot inform the debate on all the other issues,” she said.All rights reserved.
