The FESTAC 2024 Women’s Summit, a key event focused on advancing gender equality, witnessed a powerful call to action from Roy Sasaka, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). In his address, Sasaka emphasized the importance of collective effort in the pursuit of gender equality, stressing that the engagement of men is crucial in achieving meaningful progress.
“At NGAAF, our mission is to empower women, but we must recognize that real progress can only be achieved when all genders work together,” Sasaka stated. He highlighted the significance of the He for She movement, which encourages men to actively support gender equality efforts. “Creating an inclusive society means that men and women alike must stand as allies in the fight for equality,” he added.
Sasaka’s message resonated with the summit’s broader theme of collective action, urging participants to continue working hand in hand to uplift every member of the community. He reaffirmed NGAAF’s commitment to fostering an equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
As the summit concluded, attendees were reminded that the journey towards gender equality requires the active participation of all, regardless of gender. The event underscored the importance of unity and collaboration in creating lasting change and building a just and equitable society for all.
