The National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) has declared that democracy cannot be considered complete when women are excluded from policy-making processes.
This assertion was made by the Director-General of NILDS, Prof. Abubakar Sulaiman, during the 2024 Gender and Inclusion Summit organised by the Policy Innovation Centre (PIC).
The summit, themed "Reimagining Gender Inclusive Pathways and Partnerships for Poverty Reduction," brought together key stakeholders to address the intersection of gender inclusion and poverty alleviation.
Prof. Sulaiman emphasised the critical role of women in governance, stating, "Democracy is not complete when the massive majority of our women are excluded from policy-making."
He highlighted the importance of strategic partnerships in fostering innovation and enabling stakeholders to share ideas and reflect on progress.
"It is imperative for a diverse range of stakeholders to systematically collaborate across different social sectors to explore gender-related avenues toward realising the collective goal of alleviating poverty," he added.
