@Genderstrategy Please Ma, what is your advice to young women interested to run for a political position, where to start off from and how to go about the process.
This week on Women’s Weekly Dose, we aim to explore how entrenched gender stereotypes have historically shaped perceptions of political leadership and participation for women, girls and persons with disabilities.
Often, the idea of what women "should be" has been defined through narrow, traditional roles—caregivers, nurturers, or supportive figures rather than leaders or decision-makers. These stereotypes, though evolving, still limit women’s participation in politics, leaving decision-making power concentrated in male-dominated spaces.
But gender identities are more fluid and complex than ever acknowledged in the past. Understanding this fluidity and challenging these limiting views is essential for creating spaces where individuals, regardless of their gender, can freely participate in political processes. This involves unpacking stereotypes surrounding gender inclusion.
Why is this important for women’s political participation?
Gender mainstreaming is a strategy that ensures gender perspectives and diversity are integrated into all policy and decision-making processes. It is crucial because it acknowledges that women’s experiences, needs, and aspirations are different and must be represented in political spaces. However, mainstreaming is impossible if the political arena continues to reinforce binary and patriarchal structures.
Addressing stereotypes allows women to transcend limiting narratives and actively claim their space in leadership.
In our discussion today, we will focus on the following:
1.Demystifying Gender Stereotypes
2.The Impact on Women's Political Leadership
3.Gender Mainstreaming as a Tool
4.Policy Recommendations
Let’s engage, discuss, and build policies that drive real change in politics.

WHAT MAKES ME A PROJECT MANAGER?
I am a project Manager because I have the knowledge and ability to create necessary documents for deliverables as well as tools needed to execute projects to successful project closure.
I know what to do at every stage in a project life cycle.

Early this year while I was almost done with NYSC, I enrolled for a project management course with Digital technology business school, London.
I started my lectures April this year and currently undergoing an internship program as a project manager with GoCaboo.
The nursing council of Nigeria has announced that all nurses must work for at least two years before they can have their documents processed if they plan to relocate abroad for work.
In my view, this is wrong, this is oppressive and it is totally unacceptable.
Nobody should be forced to stay or work in a country they do not want to.
It sounds like the government is using the council to force nurses to stay rather than sit down with the nurses to address the actual reasons why they are leaving the country.
Rather than pay nurses better;
Rather than make nursing education more accessible and attractive to many people; Rather than make nursing practice more enjoyable and fulfilling for nurses;
Their own nursing council is putting up lunatic legislation to drive its own nurses into frustration and depression.
Anyway, this is my own personal view that should the nurses decide to fight this in a law court and resist this clear madness, they wholeheartedly and completely have my complete support.

Did Labour Party Caucus in NASS take the Oath of Silence? With all the happenings in Nigeria simultaneously, what’s your position on bulletproof cars, palliatives, & the Cost of Living Crisis? DID OBIDIENTS VOTE FOR YOUR SILENCE? What is the role of the Opposition in a Democracy?
I learnt with great reservation, the approval of a 114% increase in the salaries of elected politicians, including the President, vice president, governors, lawmakers as well as judicial and public office holders by the Revenue Mobilisation,
I read and agree with Bill Gates's recent comment on the "japa" syndrome, where, according to reports, he stated that the recent surge of Nigerian professionals leaving the country for greener pastures is good and healthy for our country.
