As Nigeria joined the global community in celebrating the 2024 International Women’s Day, the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) has called for the empowerment of women.

The director-general of NACA, Dr Gambo Aliyu, who made the call in a statement on Tuesday, said this year’s International Women’s Day, with the theme, “Invest in Women, Accelerate Progress” resonates deeply with NACA’s commitment to advancing gender equality and addressing unique challenges faced by women living with HIV/AIDS.

The DG stated that young women living in Nigeria are three times more likely to be living with HIV than men of the same age group.

Aliyu said six of 10 persons living with HIV in the country are females, emphasising the need to invest in women.

He said, “Investing in women is not just a financial commitment; it’s an investment in the sustainable progress of our societies.

“When we empower women, we create a transformative effect that positively impacts families, communities, and the nation as a whole.”

Aliyu said in commemoration of this significant day, NACA reaffirms its dedication to empowering women and girls, recognising their role in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

He said the agency remains steadfast in promoting inclusive policies, ensuring access to comprehensive healthcare, and fostering education to empower women to make informed decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health.

“Through targeted interventions and community engagement, we strive to create an environment that protects and uplifts the dignity of every woman,” he said.

Aliyu extended gratitude to all individuals, organisations, and partners who contribute to the advancement of women’s rights and the global HIV/AIDS response.

“Together, let us continue to work towards a future where every woman can live free from the burden of HIV/AIDS,” he said.
