TIP commemorated International Women’s Day by organizing a sensitization program for incarcerated women and officers at the Kirikiri Female Custodial Facility. The theme of the program, “Staying Optimistic Amidst Challenges,” was aimed at empowering women with the necessary tools to cultivate a positive mindset and embrace equity even when facing difficult situations.
The program equipped the women with vital skills and knowledge to navigate life’s challenges with ease and allowed the women to interact and ask many questions on the topic.
In addition, TIP issued a press statement condemning discriminatory practices and government policies that exclude Nigerian women from exercising their fundamental rights, especially in terms of gender inequality. It called on all tiers of the Nigerian government and private establishments to adopt employment policies that ensure the total elimination of all forms of exclusion and discrimination against vulnerable Nigerians, especially women.
Furthermore, we gathered different perspectives from people on their views regarding equity. We acknowledge that everyone has a unique perspective on equity, and we invite you to see their views.
