Nigeria, March 8 -- International Women's Day (IWD) has again brought renewed calls to tackle inequalities affecting women and girls, with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) Nigeria urging leaders and communities to translate commitments into concrete steps.

In a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES on Sunday to mark the global observance, AHF Nigeria said it is joining the worldwide movement advocating stronger efforts to dismantle barriers to health, equality and opportunity for women and girls.

The organisation said it would commemorate the 2026 edition of the event on 9 March across the states where it operates in Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Benue, Cross River, Kogi and Nasarawa.
