In Nigeria today, the call for inclusive democracy is louder than ever and women are answering that call with courage, vision, and determination.
Yet, despite their resilience, Nigerian women remain vastly underrepresented in decision-making spaces, especially within our electoral processes. From local council chambers to the national assembly, women’s voices are still not heard enough where it matters most.
