10The Power of10 Million Women

How we are organised

Six levels, bottom to top, with a name attached to every one

Movements fail when nobody is responsible for anything in particular. This one is built the other way round: the structure starts where women already gather and works upward.

  1. 01

    Community

    Community women groups

    Where the movement actually lives. Existing groups, associations and gatherings that already meet.

  2. 02

    Polling unit

    Polling unit mobilisers

    The smallest organised unit. One mobiliser, one register, one set of neighbours.

  3. 03

    Ward

    Ward coordinator and committee

    Registration, mobilisation, welfare and community advocacy across the ward.

  4. 04

    LGA and LCDA

    LGA chairperson and executive

    Coordination across all wards in the local government area. 774 of these nationwide.

  5. 05

    State

    State executive committee

    Senatorial coordinators, state secretariat, and the chapter inauguration with the Ministry.

  6. 06

    Federal

    National executive council

    National chairperson, deputies for North and South, and the national secretariat.

Wings cut across the whole ladder

Geography tells you where a member is. A wing tells you what she needs. A market woman in Kano and a market woman in Onitsha face many of the same problems, and the wing structure lets them be organised together even though they sit in different state chapters.

  • Youth Wing
  • Market Women Wing
  • Women with Disabilities Wing
  • Professional Women Wing
  • Rural Women Wing
  • Cooperative Women Wing
  • Students and Campus Wing
  • Diaspora Support Network
  • Senior Women Advisory Wing
  • Faith-Based Women Network
