What is the role of women in conflict and peace building in nigeria

Answer 1

March 8, 2008, Nigeria joined many countries of the world and the United Nations (UN) to celebrate the International Women’s Day (IWD) with the theme "Investing in Women and Girls"..

The IWD celebration began on 8 March in 1975, during International Women’s Year. Two years later, precisely in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by member states, in accordance with their historical and national traditions. In adopting its resolution, the General Assembly recognized the role of women in peace efforts and development thus urged support for the women folk as well as an end to various forms of discrimination suffer by them.
