She said focus is on the bane of gender bias and the need to restore balance in the society’ underscored SWEF’s dedication to uplifting and empowering women in the southern region, which enable them to achieve their full potential and contribute to community development.

“But today, as we stand together united in our mission for empowerment and equality, we declare that enough is enough. It is time to restore balance in our society”, she  stated.

The keynote speaker, Olori Atuwatse III, represented by Chief Mrs. Ebiyemi Omaseye, the Olujimi of Warri Kingdom, praised the national president and her team for their efforts in promoting investments in women and driving progress towards a more equitable and sustainable future.
