Published 8 March 2021
WATER AID has brought together 9 beautiful women from a spectrum of fields in Nigeria to commemorate International Women’s Day 2021 with a charity photoshoot session.
The 2030 agenda pledge to leave-no-one-behind is manifest in this unit of women who represent every woman across Africa and beyond.
It is our priority to renegotiate our stake in this new and unfolding world post-COVID, and to amplify how unity in leadership allows us break more glass ceilings and achieve more.
We #ChooseToChallenge pervasive stereotypes which groom women to the idea that we do not work together for mutual good and are instead in constant competition to bring each other down. These ideas are not true and are just one of the issues which must be highlighted for emotional strength and sustained advocacy.

'If I have an opinion, I will not be silenced...'

‘If I have an opinion, I will not be silenced...’
We continue our series marking International Women's Day, today, March 8

Growing up, I would rarely see women in high positions in jobs or government. I told myself, when I grow up I am going to #ChooseToChallenge this stigma.
Ladies such as Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama and Mary Jackson have been role models for me growing up. To make noise and to be heard, not to take things quietly.
If I have an opinion, I will not be silenced, and I encourage every women to do the same. If you are in a meeting room and have an idea, speak up and say your piece. Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.
