Don decries role of women in MDGs

Date: 2012-03-09

A DON, Dr. Tope Sinkaye, has faulted the Federal Government’s implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the roles assigned to women under the scheme.

Sinkaye, who was a guest speaker at the 2012 United Nations International Women Day organised by the Michael Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies (MINILS), Ilorin, Kwara State, lamented that women were given insignificant roles in the execution of the MDGs.

The don said it was wrong to make poverty and hunger eradication the thrust of the MDGs and yet exclude Nigerian women from it. She spoke on "Empower rural women: End hunger and poverty".

Sinkaye, who is from the Agricultural Rural and Management Training Institute (ARMTI), Ilorin, said: "Women are critical to achieving MDGs as they grow and raise much of the world’s food. However, they are less productive compared to men because they have less available time for farm work with their roles of homemakers and care-givers. If women had the same access to those resources as men, they would produce more food".
