LEGISLATIVE AGENDA FOR FCT WOMEN AND GIRLS
FCT women’s agitation for practical measures to improve their welfare has always been of concern, as well as protection and advancement of women and girls across the six Area Councils.
The FCT women's legislative agenda, championed by Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda, prioritizes seven key areas to improve the welfare of women and girls across the six Area Councils. These include skills development and economic empowerment, supporting women-owned businesses, education and mentorship, maternal and community healthcare, women's representation and leadership, protection of vulnerable women, and prevention of gender-based violence with access to justice.
Princess Hauwa Philip Aduda emphasized the importance of engaging with women leaders to ensure grassroots concerns inform these priorities. Ambassador Mariam Haruna highlighted the need for sustained dialogue and collaboration to turn these priorities into measurable improvements for women and girls in the FCT.
