A coalition of women groups under the PACFaH@Scale project has called on the National Assembly to pass laws on 35 per cent affirmative action for women involvement and inclusion in governance.
The women groups made the call while briefing newsmen as part of activities to commemorate this year’s International Women’s Day with the theme of this year’s commemoration is “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights.”
The President of the National Council of Women Societies, NCWS Gloria Larabai Shoda, who spoke on behalf of the coalition called on the three tiers of government to fund, implement and ensure accountability of programs to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal, SDG 5, which is ‘Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls.’
The coalition also called on all ties of government to fund, strengthen and ensure accountability of the national and state primary health care boards.
