She further noted that this year’s fixture, which focuses on achieving gender equality in the context of climate change, and environmental and disaster risk reduction, which are some of the greatest global challenges of the twenty-first century, is a strong reminder of the importance of women and girls to a livable planet.
The governor-elect’s wife affirmed her stance with the global call that without gender equality today, a sustainable future, and an equal future, remains beyond reach, and sought organized efforts toward achieving the objectives of the global event.
Mrs Soludo, who is also a child advocacy expert, pledged to continue championing the fight against all forms of social, cultural, political and religious practices against children, especially the girl child.
