The Time For Women's Equal Representation is Now
Nigeria has one of the lowest rates of women's representation in government globally. It's time for change. We're advocating for policies and initiatives that close the gender gap and give women an equal voice in leadership.
The Nigerian Women Trust Fund amplifies women's voices and promotes gender equality. We partner to empower women, drive research, and advocate for policy change.

REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP IS EXTREMELY LOW
Nigeria has remained at the lowest ebb globally in terms of women’s leadership and representation. Except for 2007 when the country recorded 11% representation of women in elective positions. Since then, the country has witnessed a reduced percentage of female representation. Currently, the percentage of women is about 4.8% since the 2019 General Elections.
