As the world marks International Women’s Day today, we join in celebrating the social, economic, cultural, political and spiritual achievements of women in Nigeria and globally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Men and women are created in God’s image and women have shown leadership in all areas of endeavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We acknowledge women’s achievements in all spheres of human endeavours, especially the media despite the various challenges they have had to cope with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In accordance with the theme of this year’s celebration which is Choose To Challenge, we call for accelerated actions to ensure gender parity in the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More women should be given equal opportunities in holding leadership positions in media organizations, just as there is a need to have more women voices in media content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We choose to challenge the lack of gender policies in media organizations which will make it possible to provide a more conducive working environment for women in the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We call on journalists to consciously audit those quoted in their reports to give more women the opportunities to air their views on issues of general interest to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
