The New Tribe of Patriots recognizes the invaluable contributions of women to the socio-economic and cultural fabric of Nigeria. We are dedicated to promoting gender equality, empowering women, and creating an enabling environment for women’s full and equal participation in all aspects of society. Through targeted interventions, policy reforms, and advocacy efforts, we strive to advance women’s rights, enhance their opportunities, and foster their leadership in building a more equitable and prosperous Nigeria.
