International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated globally on March 8, honors the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. This year’s 2023 theme, #EmbraceEquity, emphasizes the importance of embedding gender equity into the fabric of every society. In commemoration of #IWD2023, the Ecosteward and Humanitarian Foundation (EHF) and Lift Humanity Foundation (LHF), serving as the coordinating platform for the Africa Coalition for Sustainable Energy & Access (ACSEA) of the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), are calling for accelerated gender parity to promote energy democracy in Nigeria and across Africa. They advocate for equal rights and opportunities for women and girls to help them realize their full potential.
