Aduda Unveils Legislative Agenda for FCT Women and Girls

Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda has articulated a legislative agenda aimed at enhancing the welfare of women and girls across the six Area Councils of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The agenda identifies seven priority areas: skills development and economic empowerment, support for women-owned businesses, education and mentorship, maternal and community healthcare, women's representation and leadership, protection and inclusion of vulnerable women, and prevention of gender-based violence and access to justice.

Aduda's agenda seeks to expand access to vocational training, promote girls' education, advocate for maternal healthcare funding, and support legal protections for vulnerable women. Princess Hauwa Philip Aduda has stressed the importance of ongoing dialogue with women leaders to ensure grassroots concerns shape these priorities.

The agenda aims to be developed into a legislative framework that focuses on measurable improvements in the lives of women and girls in the FCT.
