2025 International Women’s Day: An Experiential Lecturer with Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Dr Oluedo Eric, has advised Women in Politics and Women in other places of work, to incident any act of Sexual harassment on them with the Police immediately it is committed as delay is always dangerous. Speaking on the current happenings in the Nigerian Senate, Dr Oluedo further reminded our Women in Politics about Arunma Oteh, former World Bank Vice President and Executive Secretary of Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) versus Rt Hon Herman Hembe, Chairman of the House of Representatives Capital market committee, Herman Hembe. Arunma Oteh pursued her case devoid of Sentiments and Blackmail and to the admiration of Nigerians. She won. Arunma was also exonerated of any criminal breaches in her office. Rt Hon Herman Hembe lost and resigned. Let us be guided by Rules, Regulations, Due Process and Rule of law.
The theme of International Women’s Day in 2025 is “Accelerate Action”. This focuses on the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. There is an urgent need to increase momentum in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres. According to data from the World Economic Forum, at the current rate of progress it will take until the year 2158 to reach full gender parity. The current global trajectory is deeply concerning. Gender equality is under threat, and the world is off track to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 5 on Gender Equality by 2030. The power of online disinformation, harm and abuse, and the harnessing of violent misogynistic narratives by influential actors and groups globally is driving new and acute threats to gender equality.
Growing levels of conflict and crisis disproportionately affect women and girls. They bear the brunt of conflict; humanitarian disaster; environmental degradation and food insecurity. The rights, freedoms, and wellbeing of women and girls in conflict and under repressive regimes are acutely constrained, driving intergenerational inequality and suffering. In this context, it is more important than ever that we stand up for gender equality. Accelerated progress on gender equality will deliver global economic growth, contribute to a safer and more secure world, and contribute to solving the energy and climate crises. We can only build a fairer, freer, safer, wealthier and greener world if we put our women and girls at the heart of the local, national and regional progress.
