FULAFIA Lecturer Professor Linda Kwon-Ndung Delivers Powerful Inaugural Lecture on Advancing Gender Justice and Women's Empowerment

The Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) recently hosted Professor Linda Kwon-Ndung's professorial inaugural lecture, titled "Advancing Gender Justice and Women's Empowerment for Sustainable Development through a Political Economic Outlook."

The event, chaired by FULafia's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Shehu Abdulrahman, brought together distinguished academics, administrators, and stakeholders.

Professor Kwon-Ndung, a renowned expert in her field, presented a thought-provoking and well-researched lecture that highlighted the critical role of gender justice and women's empowerment in achieving sustainable development. She emphasized the need to address systemic inequalities, multidimensional poverty, and gender-based violence, which perpetuate the marginalization of women.

The lecture was particularly significant, as it aligned with the theme of this year's International Women's Day, "Accelerate Action for Gender Equality." Professor Kwon-Ndung's presentation was a call to action, urging policymakers, academics, and stakeholders to prioritize gender equality, women's empowerment, and education as essential components of sustainable development.

Professor Kwon-Ndung's lecture was widely praised for its intellectual rigor, clarity, and passion. Her commitment to advancing gender justice and women's empowerment is evident in her work, and her inaugural lecture serves as a testament to her dedication to creating a more equitable and just society.
