 Anamangjourn women has strengthened their call for more women participation in leadership roles and decision making in the country. This call was made in Abuja on Wednesday as women all over the world prepare for the International Women's Day celebration. Eight of March every year has been set aside as the International Women's Day and these has been celebrated across the world since the early 1900s, a period of great expansion and turbulence in the industrial world and this period also gave rise to the radical ideologies. The country director who was represented by the director of finance Marima Saydo says each time that Nigeria women will account for 60 percent of the population at giving equal opportunities as the three male counterparts. Fifty percent of Nigerian population is women and for the last legislator we only have four women position in the governance and also we have only less than three percent of our representatives are in Nigerian assembly for women. We have only three women over 109 elected House of Representatives members. I think this is something we can look at it and see how we can improve. This year the campaign's theme is inspire inclusion. This year campaign calls for all women to inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion. We fought a better world. If you all come together we will definitely do better than we working in silos. More women will spoke applauded the role of care in Nigeria and inspiring women and giving them voice and support particularly in the North East. We also have increased number of women supervisory councillors in the state. Also we have older women in elected positions although it has not been this is something that is happening very new. We see it in nowhere especially having women in an elected position particularly being a chairperson of a local government this is something that is very strength for us in moving and that did not happen over just like that but it's due to different level of advocacy engagement that we had with the government through different levels of empowerment that we had from organizations like here international. Even some few years to come we as a women especially in the North who see a great change because in most of our activities that we have gone out we have seen a great acceptance from our amias our community leaders have welcomed us and also welcome our ideas of women coming out to participate in leadership and decision making roles in our community. Also there's an awareness of the women coming out to give us their support and showing that they want to work together with the women. Good afternoon everybody my name is Honour Rosam Spritz and I'm the Speaker of the Health Alliance Voice of the Girls Parliament. As rightly said by my clerk here it is very very weird and absurd to have 50 percent of the nation as women and only about six or to seven percent of them are provided represented in leadership it is absurd and it is a kind of it is a formal like stereotyping to say that women can't lead or women don't have what it takes to lead. So today we are very happy that care has allowed us to be a part of this deliberation so that we can make sure that the future is bright for women because the girl of today is the woman of tomorrow. A panel of discussion on the future of women was exhaustively deliberately on by a panel of discussions with the theme the prospect of women participation in leadership roles and in decision making.
