In a determined push for gender equality, Women Target 1 Million Signatures across Nigeria embarking on a mission to gather one million signatures to support the passage of five crucial gender bills rejected by the 9th National Assembly in 2022. Led by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, assurances are given that the bills will be reconsidered and passed in the 10th Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rejected bills cover significant aspects such as providing special seats Women Target 1 Million Signatures in the national assembly, ensuring a 35% affirmative action for women in political party administration, granting citizenship to foreign-born husbands of Nigerian women, allowing married women to choose their state of origin, and seeking a 10% affirmative action for women in ministerial appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Massive protests erupted across Nigeria in response to the rejection, with Womanifesto, a feminist group, leading the charge. Now, the Women Advocate Research and Documentation Center (WARDC) and its gender bill cluster, including Womanifesto, National Coalition on Affirmative Action, Gender and Constitution Reform Network, SAGE, and Gender Mobile, are driving a social media action and launching an advocacy hashtag and signature campaign\u2014#Reconsider5genderbills and #affirmativeaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Speaker Kalu, represented by his Special Adviser, expressed confidence in the bills’ reconsideration, emphasizing the need for increased awareness. He urged comprehensive engagement to educate both lawmakers and the public on the bills’ importance, citing a lack of awareness as the reason for their rejection in the 9th assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sa\u2019adatu Mahdi, Secretary General of Women\u2019s Rights Advancement and Protection Alternatives (WRAPA), commended the renewed advocacy, stressing the importance of gender bills for Nigeria’s equitable development. FCT Commissioner for Women Affairs, Adedayo Benjamins-Laniyi, pledged to mobilize the one million signatures required for the bill’s passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi, Founder and Executive Director of WARDC, affirmed the women’s commitment to achieving legislative approval, launching the hashtag to collect one million signatures. She declared the unwavering determination of women to secure recognition for their needs in a country that belongs to both men and women. The push for the reintroduction and reconsideration of the bills remains steadfast, echoing the call for a more inclusive and egalitarian society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
