Member Representing Langtang North and South Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Hon. Beni lar has congratulated women on the occasion of the 2021 International Day for Women. Hon Lar has demonstrated her full
support for the advancement of women and women rights groups within her constituency and Nigeria at large.
Congratulating the newly appointed first female Director-General of the World Trade Organization, Dr. Okonjo Ngozi Iweala, Hon. Beni Lar asserted that the history-making appointment has further confirmed that given the opportunity, women have the intellectual capacity to contribute positively to the development of all sectors. She further emphasized that the Theme of this year’s celebration- “Women In Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID-19 World”… #ChoosetoChallenge was not only apt but Revolutionary.
The ranking & longest-serving legislator in the north called on the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency declare a State of Emergency on Security to stop the wanton rape, victimization, and objectifying the woman as an instrument of terrorism which the insurgents use as cannon silage for their nefarious activities.
She prodded all the girls and women abducted by insurgent groups in Nigeria or by bandits to be safely returned while advocating for #SafeSchool4theGirlChild, Lar said insecurity around the country has caused the girl child to lost time to her education especially within the North East, North West and North Central Nigeria.
She however encouraged young women and girls as well as women rights groups to keep the blazing fire burning to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals objectives by the year 2030.
