After 43 Years of its existence, the NUJ FCT Council has finally got a first Female Chairperson. The Board of Trustees of Hope Raisers Global Foundation is elated to congratulate Comrade Grace Ike, on her historic election as the first female Chairperson of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), FCT Council. This is a significant milestone for women in journalism and a testament to the growing recognition of women’s leadership potential.
Comrade Ike’s election is a powerful symbol of progress and equality. It signifies a shift in the dynamics of power within the media industry and opens up new opportunities for women journalists to rise to leadership positions.

16 Days of Activism and the Fight for Gender Equality
As we celebrate this historic moment, it is crucial to acknowledge the ongoing struggle for gender equality. The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, an annual international campaign, is a timely reminder of the need to address issues such as gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and violence against women.
Hope Raisers Global Foundation is committed to promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment. We believe that women should have equal opportunities to participate in all aspects of society, including politics, business, and the media. We urge all stakeholders to support initiatives that promote women’s rights and create a more inclusive world. Agenda Inclusion, Equal Opportunity, and Affirmative Action
To ensure that women’s voices are heard and their contributions valued, it is imperative to prioritize gender inclusion in all spheres of life.
This includes:
Agenda Inclusion: Ensuring that women’s perspectives and concerns are reflected in policy-making and decision-making processes.
Equal Opportunity: Creating a level playing field for women, free from discrimination and bias.
Affirmative Action: Implementing measures to increase women’s representation in leadership positions, such as the 35% affirmative action quota for women in government.
We at Hope Raisers Global Foundation celebrate working together, we can create a society where women are empowered to reach their full potential and contribute to the development of our nation.
Hearty Congratulations once again Ma’am.
