Ms Eyong, who made the call at a quarterly Media Dialogue with Media Executives and Chief Editors on Gender Responsive Reporting held in Lagos at the weekend, also said the UN Women has established a resource centre for Nigerian Women in Politics.

She maintained that there is a need to increase women’s representation in decision-making positions by ensuring that the rights of women and girls are respected as found in the conventions and additional texts and protocols ratified by the government of Nigeria.

The UN Women Rep also thanked the media for inviting some of the women candidates to speak in some media programmes but she maintained a lot still needed to be done to give more women a level playing ground.
