🎙 AWPP Radio Excerpt Series | Episode 4 – Women, Politics & The Media
When it comes to politics, the media holds power — power to shape perception, power to influence the public, and power to make or break a woman in leadership.

In this episode on Gerin FM and Kakakin FM, our speakers called it what it is:
📰 Stop framing women politicians as “emotional.”
📸 Don’t reduce them to their outfits or marital status.
🗞 Focus on their competence, not just their “firsts.”
🎙 Give them equal coverage, serious questions, and real visibility.
The media must stop playing the bias game.
We need more balanced, fair, and respectful narratives around women in politics.

🎧 Watch the clips.
📢 Share the message.
Let’s change how the media tells HER story — because #SheFitLead

Would you vote for a woman in politics? 🎤🇳🇬
We hit the streets to ask Nigerians this question, and the responses were eye-opening!
Women's political participation isn't just about representation—it’s about equity, progress, and stronger governance. What’s your take? Drop your thoughts in the comments! ⬇️

Excerpt from the Media Town-hall on Women’s Political Participation: @AgathaAmata emphasizes that special considerations for women are not about favoritism but about making leadership spaces more accessible and inclusive after years of systemic discrimination.

Hon. Adebayo Balogun implores allies to keep the advocacy alive and hold the State Assembly accountable for the Special Seats Bill. Representation matters, appointed positions are not tokenism but a step toward inclusive leadership.
