The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria (ICSAN) has called for greater observance of women’s rights. President of ICSAN, Taiwo Owokalade, said this during the celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD).

He described this year’s theme ‘DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality’ as apt and remarkable for its recognition of how technology could be explored to realise the expectations of gender rights.

According to him, technological initiatives have indisputably become the modern culture and “we must concentrate on how to leverage it to advance human worthiest and sublime causes, which include social justice, equal right and inclusive development.

“Innovation and technology are appropriate tools in the policy of gender mainstreaming and we must all strive to tap into it for the realisation of a just, equitable and androgynous society.

“There is no gainsaying the fact that women have made great contributions to the digital world since its advent and have continued to contribute in remarkable ways to its advancement.

“Our women are our partners in the quest for societal advancement and sustainable development and we must always be conscious of carrying them along in the journey for human progress,” Owokalade said.

While commending women on the celebration, he equally commended the United Nations for the phenomenal support and promotion it has given to women’s right over the years.
