In 2024, the Nigerian Women Trust Fund (NWTF), through its Gender and Election Watch (GEW) initiative, reinforced its commitment to promoting gender equality in Nigeria’s democratic processes. GEW played a critical role in observing the off-cycle elections from a gender perspective, ensuring that women’s voices were not just heard but also acted upon.
