Speaking on the ‘Role of Parliamentarians in Ensuring Gender and Social Inclusion’, keynote Speaker at the event, a member of the House of Representatives, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, urged lawmakers to sponsor laws that protect women’s rights and promote their participation in all aspects of society; championing legislations that address gender-based violence and equal opportunities in education, as well as safeguarding reproductive rights.
