Women make up nearly half of Nigeria’s population, yet their voices are barely heard in our government. With one of the lowest rates of female representation in the world, Nigeria’s National Assembly does not truly reflect the diversity and strength of its people. It’s time for that to change.
The Special Seat Bill is a critical step towards closing this gender gap by reserving additional seats for women in Nigeria’s legislature. This isn’t about special treatment; it’s about ensuring that women have an equal opportunity to participate in the decisions that shape our nation. From creating laws that protect women and girls against sexual and gender-based violence to addressing the economic and social challenges we all face, female legislators are crucial for a just and inclusive Nigeria.
But this bill will only become law if we, the people, stand up and demand it. We need your voice. We need your support.
By signing this petition, you are joining the call for a Nigeria where women’s voices are heard, respected and represented.
Let’s make history. Sign the petition to pass the Special Seat Bill today!
