He said; “I believe that this partnership would help in implementing the United Nations Resolution on Gender and Affirmative Action and those of the SDGs; so that we can ensure that the rights of women and children are adequately protected and institutions that will ensure that these things are implemented.”

He added that the partnership will go a long way to alleviate the plight of women and children who are among the most vulnerable in the society.

In a bid to assuage trauma-related cases been faced by women and children in the society, the SGF opined for a trauma therapy for women and children for their mental wellbeing. He added that the trauma therapy becomes imperative as women and children are left traumatized in the event of conflicts.

Hajiya Lau sought government’s support to speed up the process of implementing the United Nations Resolution on Gender Affirmative Action (Beijing 95) and the UN-Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). She added that it’s their acceptance to co-host and co-organise the forthcoming Women- In-National Service Week (WINSERVE) was borne out of determination to ensure the promotion and defence of Women’s and Children’s Rights, in all ramifications.

 

Speaking also, the Director and Head of FGN Projects of the Implementation Committee, Federal Ministry of Finance Budget and National Planning, Dr. M.A Yakassai, highlighted the lines of events during the forthcoming Women- In-National Service Week (WINSERVE) event which includes the National Colloquium on Gender and National Development, the Presidential Dinner Award which would confer national awards on prominent Nigerian women  and former First Ladies of the Federal Government of Nigeria, who have made great impacts through their lofty pet projects, amongst other activities.
