Group seeks support to eradicate women’s poverty

Women For Women International Nigeria has sought intervention for improved living conditions of the female gender, mobilising stakeholders to ensure a better society for them.

The group’s country director Bukola Onyishi stated this during the group’s 25th anniversary, expressing concerns over women affected by conflict.

She emphasised the need for support, saying that one in three women will experience physical or sexual violence during her lifetime.

“Imagine being pregnant while fleeing conflict, imagine being a young girl managing her monthly cycle in a displacement camp, imagine being elderly or living with disability, with nowhere to turn for safety,” she said.

She said the group has helped to rebuild women’s confidence, start businesses, educate their children, become leaders in their communities and rediscover hope in 25 years.

Rima Salah, International Board Member emphasised the roles of women and identified how they can be agents of change.

According to her, the women for peace and security agenda is a comprehensive international policy framework that recognises and addresses the unique and disproportionate impact of conflict on women and girls while promoting active participation in the peace and security process.

She urged participants to continue to raise the bar, raising the voices of Nigerian women so that they echo through the world and let them tell their stories of success.

The Chairman, Woodhall Capital Foundation, Vavo Hunponu-Wusu added that the initiative is built on a simple conviction that when people are empowered with purpose and opportunity, they become catalysts for transformation within their communities and beyond.

According to him, it is important to renew collective commitment to building a future where every woman has access to opportunity, every girl can dream without limitation and every partnership creates measurable and lasting impact.
