Calls for More Inclusivity
As women across the globe celebrate the 2025 International Women’s Day, Ambassador Akintunde Akintayo, the founder of the Akin-Akintayo Foundation, has commended women for their immense contributions to society.
The foundation, a non-governmental organization dedicated to the welfare of all individuals regardless of tribal or gender bias, reaffirmed its commitment to supporting and uplifting women.
Akintayo praised the resilience, strength, and achievements of women in various fields, emphasizing their indispensable role in nation-building.
Speaking on the need for greater inclusivity, Akintayo urged for more representation of women in key decision-making positions across all sectors.
He highlighted that despite significant progress, women remain underrepresented in leadership roles, limiting their impact on policies and governance.
He called on governments, private institutions, and stakeholders to break barriers and create equal opportunities that empower women to contribute meaningfully at all levels.
In furthering his advocacy for women’s rights and empowerment, Akintayo assured that the Akin-Akintayo Foundation would continue to prioritize women’s welfare.
He stressed that the foundation would initiate and support programs aimed at improving the economic, educational, and social well-being of women, ensuring they have access to resources and opportunities necessary for growth.
He noted that a society that uplifts its women is one that progresses in all aspects.
As the world marks this year’s International Women’s Day, Akintayo’s message serves as a call to action for all stakeholders to work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
His commitment through the Akin-Akintayo Foundation underscores the importance of supporting women’s rights, fostering inclusivity, and recognizing the invaluable contributions of women in every sphere of life.
