ActionAid Nigeria has undoubtedly done a lot of work within the women’s rights space. However, we recognise that there is still more work to be done to advance the full enjoyment of human rights for all women. We hereby call on the federal and state governments to support the passage and implementation of the Special Seats Bill in order to increase women’s political representation in Nigeria and advance women’s rights across the country. #IWD2026 #SpecialSeatsBill #AllNigerianWomenMatter

ActionAid Nigeria calls for urgent and sustained action from government and development partners to advance women’s rights, including investing in gender responsive public services, strengthening justice for survivors of gender based violence, increasing funding for women led initiatives, and passing the Special Seats Bill to improve women’s political representation.
