Overview

In Nigeria, elections over the years have been characterised by violence, including violence against women. In addition, research indicates that violence or fear of violence is a major deterrent to women’s active participation and engagement in politics.

This initiative explains the importance of women's roles in the implementation of the SDGs and the views for the high-level political forum. These views include human rights, meaningful participation, civil society space, funding and accountability.
