The Balm in Gilead Foundation (BIGIF) for Sustainable Development has called on stakeholders across the country to support women participation in politics.
BIGIF in a one-day dialogue with non-state actors on Gender Quota and Women’s Political Participation held at the All Saints Guest House in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, bemoaned the low statistics of women in politics despite having a larger percentage of the population.
According to Mr. Nelson Akerele, a facilitator of the organisation, women have a responsibility to contribute effectively to the growth of the country economically, socially and even emotionally.
