Wildan Care Foundation has joined the global community in celebrating International Women’s Day 2025 under the theme ‘Accelerate Action’, urging for inclusion of women.
The foundation in a press statement on Saturday signed by Hajiya Zariyatu Abubakar, Executive Director, disclosed that is year’s theme underscores a fundamental truth, harping on the need to empower women and girls through education, economic opportunities, and leadership, to unlock the full potential of societies and drive sustainable development.
Abubakar noted that as an organisation dedicated to advancing the education and empowerment of women and girls, Wildan Care Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to breaking barriers that hinder gender equality.
The statement partly read, “Across communities, women continue to face challenges, including limited access to quality education, economic marginalisation, and systemic discrimination. Governments, businesses, and civil society must work together to dismantle these obstacles and create an inclusive future where every woman and girl can thrive.
“In line with this year’s IWD theme, Wildan Care Foundation is actively investing in programs that support women’s education, vocational training, and mentorship. We believe that educating a girl today means building a stronger nation tomorrow.”
She called on stakeholders to prioritise education by ensuring that girls have access to quality learning opportunities, especially in underserved communities.
“Support women’s economic empowerment by providing access to capital, mentorship, and market opportunities for female entrepreneurs.
End gender-based violence through stronger policies, awareness campaigns, and community engagement.
Encourage women’s leadership in decision-making spaces, from politics to corporate boardrooms.
“On this International Women’s Day, let us move beyond words and take concrete actions to invest in women. Progress is not possible without women at the center of development. Together, we can build a world where every girl has the chance to learn, lead, and succeed,” Abubakar added.
