@activista_lagos @Ochujay @Okwuosamj @ActionAidNG @ActivistaNG Gendered form of corruption sich as demand for sex for endorsement and other institutional reforms need to be looked into Economic empowerment for women by reducing extreme poverty, eliminating employment discriminating practices against women

@Okwuosamj @habbibbat @Ochujay Haven discussed all these with us so far, what advice do you have for women and the girl child on how best they could be agents on transformation? @activista_lagos @ActivistaNG @ActionAidNG #WomenInGovernance #InspireNaija019

@activista_lagos @Ochujay @ActionAidNG @ActivistaNG The appropraiate question to debunk this assertion is "how well have women been allowed and supported in leadership roles.

@activista_lagos @Ochujay @ActionAidNG @ActivistaNG Also, is the system and institution free of gender forms of corruption and irregularities that could deter their performance.

@habbibbat @Ochujay @Okwuosamj Do you think women must get involved in politics to be actively engaged as agents of transformation? @activista_lagos @ActionAidNG @ActivistaNG #WomenInGovernance #InspireNaija019

@activista_lagos @Ochujay @ActionAidNG @ActivistaNG Like earlier mentioned, despite the challenges that African women face in leadership positions due to inadequate gender-friendly policies and poor implementation where they exist, there is a significant number of women who have contributed immensely in their respective positions.

@activista_lagos @Ochujay @Okwuosamj @ActionAidNG @ActivistaNG Women can be agents of transformation in any sphere of life. However, women are encouraged to participate in politics to bring about significant change especially as it concerns gender issues and sus. delopment. Participatn in politics could be as gladiators or active spectators

@habbibbat @Ochujay @Okwuosamj If the assertions dat culture, tradition and religion are contributing factors dat militates against active participation of women in social courses & leadership roles @activista_lagos @ActivistaNG @ActionAidNG

@habbibbat @Ochujay @Okwuosamj what are strategies you think could be used to break these barriers? @activista_lagos @ActionAidNG @ActivistaNG #WomenInGovernance #InspireNaija019
