A leading women’s non-profit organization, Women in Successful Careers (WISCAR) will host its 2nd quarter Meet-a-WISCAR series on Saturday 28th of July 2018 in Lagos. The event with the theme ‘Promoting Inclusive Governance’ will feature speakers from the fields of governance, citizenship, and advocacy including a keynote by Mrs. Hafsat Abiola-Costello, Founder of the Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND) and President Women in Africa.
Speaking on the reason for the event WISCAR Founder and Chairperson, Mrs. Amina Oyagbola stated that ‘there is undoubtedly a dearth of women in governance and politics globally and locally and we want through this event and beyond to contribute in our own small way to the conversation and actions that can frame change’.
The Executive Secretary of WISCAR Mrs. Fabia Ogunmekan explained that ‘the theme of the event is in consonance with what we promote every day at WISCAR, that is supporting and creating a network for women along with their chosen career path. This is even more so in the space of governance and politics where women must have the opportunity to promote gender causes ensuring that they translate into law and policy.
Mrs. Amina Oyagbola stated that participants should expect to leave the event empowered and committed to the event’s call to action to stand and be counted.
