WELCOME...
It’s been several decades since
women took their destiny in their hands
to march against the systemic
inequalities they face on a daily basis.
This struggle, which has taken different
forms since 1848 when Elizabeth Cady
Stanton organised the Seneca Falls
Convention where she was the first to
call for women’s right to vote, simply
seeks equal rights and opportunities
and greater personal freedom for
women allover the world.
In 1995, the United Nations threw
its weight behind women’s agitation for
gender equality by hosting the largest gathering of women in
Beijing, China.
The efforts by the UN at advancing gender equality has led to
the world body arming women with two landmark documents to
fight; the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, and the
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
against Women, CEDAW.
The results are pouring in.This year alone, the United States
of America produced her first Female and first black Vice-
President, Kamala Harris, while Nigeria’s Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-
Iweala took her place as the first female, first black Director
General of the World Trade Organization, WTO.
As the world celebrates International Women’s Day, IWD,
tomorrow, a new challenge is thrown at them with the theme:
“Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19
world.” Like many mountains women have surmounted, that
brought by the COVID-19 pandemic would not be an exception
as examples of women in leadership who are doing well in spite
of the pandemic, already abound.
While Josephine Agbonkhese, reports that men’s leadership
is no longer in vogue. Pg 7, read up other exciting stories on our
new column Billboard. Pg 8.
As we raise our glass to celebrate
all women, we especially congratulate
J . E
our cover bride, Kemi Shabi, and her

hubby, Dolapo, winners of

Quotes
“No man wanted me. Rapists
would tap me on the
shoulder and say ‘Seen any
girls?’.” - Joan Rivers
“They say men enjoy
shaving - it’s the one time
each day they get to look
in the mirror and say ‘Hey
there, you handsome devil’.”
- Helen Gurley Brown
“The freer that women
become, the freer will men
be. Because when you
enslave someone, you are
enslaved.”
- Louise Nevelson
“Laziness may appear
attractive but work gives
satisfaction.”
- Anne Frank
