Every citizen has the right to be equal to the other. Irrespective of who we are, where we come from and the class we belong to.
Nigeria is a practising partriachal system where men dominate women. We in our organisation are advocating earnestly through Action AID International Partnership to fight against disparity and injustice.
We join to say that women and children who are most vulnerable should be given opportunities of equality at all phases in life.

As an American woman married to a Moroccan man (which I believe makes me a citizen of Morocco), I support equality laws in Morocco and other countries. Because I am a citizen of Morocco by marriage and my children will be citizens of Morocco and the United States, I think it is important for all of them to have equal rights within Morocco, I am personally concerned with equal rights for all within not only Morocco, but all of the other nations that have different laws for men and women.

The struggle for Gender Equality is part and parcel of the struggle for sustainable development. Changing legislations is a necessary step, but not sufficient. It should be supported by mobilizing social forces, awareness and a positive value system.

Jordanian women built Jordan along with Jordanian men. Therefore, they should give their foreign husbands and children residency!

The civil society of Cameroon demand for the elimination of all discriminatory legislations. This will foster security and development. The Cameroonian Association of Female Jurists, which is working in this domain, testify,from it’s experience that most gender based problems can be solved by the putting in place of good laws, favourable to all in an equal manner.
