Soludo’s wife urges stronger empowerment, equality for women

Dr Nonye Soludo, the wife of Anambra State governor, has called for stronger empowerment and equality for women across the country. She emphasized that when women are empowered, families become stronger, communities healthier, and societies progress. Soludo stressed that equality is not about providing women an advantage, but ensuring every woman and girl has the chance to learn, lead, work, dream, and thrive without gender, cultural, religious, or social barriers.

As the founder of the Non-Governmental Organisation 'Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo Initiative', she highlighted the strength, brilliance, and resilience of women, stressing their invaluable contributions to societal development. In a press statement released on Wednesday, Soludo commemorated 'Women's Equality Day', celebrated globally on August 26, to prohibit gender barriers.

She said, "As the world marks 'Women's Equality Day' today, we celebrate the strength, brilliance, resilience, and invaluable contributions of women everywhere.
