The goal of this compendium is to offer a robust understanding of the challenges and

barriers that affect Nigerian women and girls across various sectors and areas of life

The high prevalence of gender-based violence, with a significant majority of survivors being women and girls, often under 17 years of age is a major issue.

Inclusive Leadership policies are crucial for promoting gender equality and empowering

women in Nigeria across her sectors of security, sports, education, health, agriculture,

mining, finance, and trade sectors, among others. These Feminist Leadership policies

ensure that women’s needs and perspectives are incorporated into the development of

policies, programs, and projects, thereby addressing gender-specific challenges and

barriers to participation and advancement.
