House of Reproduction will revisit the five pro-women bills rejected by the 9th Assembly in the next constitution amendment, the deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu has said.

Kalu gave the assurance yesterday in Abuja when the Women Advocates Research and Documentation Centre (WARDC), the NCAA, GECORN, Womanifesto and other Gender Bills Response Cluster members (GBRC) visited him at the National Assembly, Abuja.

The deputy speaker who highlighted the appropriate sections in the constitution where amendments were sought for by the women said it was necessary to increase women participation in politics.

He stressed that in a country like Nigeria where women and girls made up 49.32 per cent of the population, their number should reflect the proportion of representation in the majority of institutions, including the legislature with only 4% of women.

Earlier in her presentation, the founding Director of Women Advocates Research and Documentation Center (WARDC), Abiola Akiyode Afolabi, said they were in the House to seek support of the deputy speaker in the reintroduction of the gender bills.
