"Women's rights are being rolled back". That was candid enough. The jist is. What's the way forward? What's the best solution possible? Precisely, Women's rights have caused more problems in society Am really to come up with examples when time allows.

The UN keep playing ostrich. You know the places and the people that hates gender equality. But you will never mention them. You rather reward them with heading commissions on women rights.

On the #InternationalWomensDay, what an honor it is for me to be listed among the other notable experts in their fields working towards women’s rights and gender mainstreaming of the SDG2030. I thank the New York City Bar Association New York City Bar for this important recognition. At a time where conflict related deaths are on its record high, where we see a significant set back of decades of progress in democracies, SDG 5: gender equality far far away from its target line, I still think that today is a great chance to disseminate the best practices of women human rights defender, activists, civil society pioneers and peace makers. We will all continue combat state-led atrocity crimes, lead intergovernmental actions for the release of political prisoners and work towards ending gender-apartheid regimes. I will end with this UN Women’s motto for this year: invest in women, accelerate the progress of peace and security. #InvestingInWomen #March2024
