The Power Of
A non-political movement organising Nigerian women from the polling unit upward, across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Join the women organising in your state.
Open to every Nigerian woman / Non-political / In all 36 states & the FCT
Women turn out, women trade, women farm, women vote, women hold communities together through every hard season. What has never existed is a single, verifiable national list of who those women are, where they are, and what they are asking for.
That is what this movement builds. A member in Bama and a member in Badagry appear on the same register, under the same rules, counted the same way. From that list comes something the country has not had to answer to before: an organised constituency of ten million women with an address in every local government.
The register is the point. Everything else follows from it.
Four priority pillars
Work that pays, in the places women already are.
Rural enterprise, women-led SMEs, skills acquisition, agricultural value chains, the creative and digital economy, and cooperative trading groups. The aim is household income that holds.
A bank account is a form of citizenship.
Connecting women to formal finance: literacy, microcredit, savings and credit schemes, mobile money, insurance, and readiness for the intervention funds that already exist but rarely reach them.
Numbers are only power once they are organised.
Leadership development, mentorship, girl-child education, civic awareness, and a serious push for women in governance, including women with disabilities and those the room usually forgets.
Nobody should lose everything to one bad month.
Standing between women and the shocks: violence, widowhood, illness, displacement, discrimination. Legal aid, health access, psychosocial support and emergency relief.
What we are asking for
34%
Women in governance
Advocacy for 34 per cent representation of women in elective and appointive positions, at every level of government.
774
Local government areas
A functioning structure in every LGA in the federation, not just the capitals. Roughly 12,920 members each.
37
States and the FCT
State chapters constituted, inaugurated and working with their Ministries of Women Affairs.
Specialised wings
Every member belongs to a state and a local government. She also chooses a wing, so traders are organised with traders, students with students, and no group is spoken for by people who do not share its problems.
Get organising
Every state chapter runs a WhatsApp group where the women organising near you plan and share work. Online membership registration opens soon.
