Zamfara State Governor’s wife, Hajiya Aisha Bello Matawalle has urged women-workers to be committed to fighting gender-based violence within the mainstream civil service.
Aisha Matawalle, who stated this as a part of her message to women civil servants during the Workers Day celebration, said gender-based violence is a very serious societal problem that required the attention of women elites, particularly those in the civil service, with a view to liberating their fellow women folks from the discrimination they suffer in the hands of their male counterparts.
“Women in the civil service have a very serious and active role to play in the fight against the discrimination the female folks face in the hands of men within the majority stream civil service,” she lamented.
