Some African women, as well as ladies from the United Arab Emirates, have asked the Nigerian National Assembly to reverse its decision on the rejected gender bills, claiming that no country can advance unless women are promoted.
The women were in Dubai for the AfroZons Soundoff, an event hosted by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism.
They stated that every responsible government should be concerned about women’s issues, and that gender-based issues should be given priority attention because, according to them, women have unique ways of attracting development and keeping their countries peaceful.
