Professionals task govt on women’s health, gender equality

A coalition of women professionals and faith-based associations, under the PACFaH@Scale project (Women In PAS), has called on government at all levels to ensure the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5, which is geared towards gender equality and empowerment of women.

The coalition made the call Thursday in Abuja during a press conference to mark this year’s International Women’s Day.
