Q3. @abani_blessing What are the Five Gender Bills currently before the House of Assembly, and what specific issues do they aim to address in Nigerian society? #TIGN @OpenSocietyAfr @LovethBala1 @ifykmba @BeebbeeA

The 35% affirmative action is a provision that mandates a minimum of 35% representation of women in decision-making positions in government and other sectors; tackling the historical underrep of women in leadership roles and to promote equality. @womenfundng @OpenSocietyAfr
