Old girls seek end to bias against women

The Old Girls Association of Federal Government Girls College, FGGC, Abuloma, has called for an end to gender bias against women.

They argued that the numerous values women offer could no longer be downplayed, insisting that an inclusive society holds greater potential than a restrictive one.

They spoke at the second edition of the ‘On the Road from Abuloma Conference (OTRFA) 2024, with theme ‘Shattering Stereotypes,’ organised by the alumni of FGGCA in Lagos.

The Director of External Affairs and Social Performance at Seplat Energy, Chioma Afe, said the situation might be difficult to address if women refused to play a part in overcoming such biases.

Afe said: “There are various stereotypes. This bias exists whether it is about sex, age, religion or how you dress. They exist socially and even culturally in Nigeria.

“Culturally, in Nigeria, at a certain point in time, the role of the woman was homemaking and raising children. But slowly, there were businesswomen and women who went into corporate practice.”

 She said the programme, supported by the World Bank, is domiciled in the Ministry of Education but the Women Affairs counterpart is lending support by searching and encouraging girls to embrace technical education.
