Summary: Naija Feminists Media with Tabitha Empowerment Center, will host an X Space on Friday, February 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. (WAT) to talk about gender equality and social justice for women and marginalised communities.
To mark World Day of Social Justice, Naija Feminists Media, in partnership with Tabitha Empowerment Center, will host an X Space titled “Strengthening a Just Gender Equality Transition for a Sustainable Future” on Friday, February 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. (WAT).
Observed annually on February 20, the World Day of Social Justice was established by the United Nations in 2007 and first observed in 2009. The day highlights global efforts to address poverty, exclusion, gender inequality, and unemployment, while promoting human rights, fair income distribution, and inclusive social protection systems.
The X space discussion will examine why gender equality must remain central to social justice efforts and how women are excluded from progress. It will also explore what a truly just and inclusive transition should look like in building sustainable societies.
A gender equality transition refers to the structural and societal changes needed to dismantle harmful gender norms, power imbalances, and discrimination. It calls for equal rights, opportunities, safety, and representation for all, particularly in areas such as economic participation, leadership, and access to justice.
The conversation will feature experts and professionals who will unpack structural inequalities, policy gaps, and pathways toward inclusive and sustainable futures.
Speakers include Chief Jennifer Hembafan Alih, a community development strategist and peace advocate; Dorcas Bello, a journalist; Jenifatu Yakubu, a legal practitioner; and Grace Davou, an educationist. Other speakers are Gladys Emmanuel, a human rights lawyer, gender advocate, and researcher; Shalom Sunday, assistant advocacy personnel at Tabitha Empowerment Centre, Kano State; and Amy Onyinyechi, a lawyer and development sector professional.
Join the X Space on Friday, February 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. (WAT) as we discuss how to build a more sustainable and gender-equal future for women and marginalised communities.
