She noted that the association has consistently encouraged the active participation of women in governance and public affairs through advocacy, civic education, leadership development, and community engagement.
The President further stated that the organisation has continued to raise awareness among women on their rights, responsibilities, and roles in nation-building, while also motivating and supporting credible and qualified Deltans to actively participate in governance, politics, policy formulation, and socio-economic reforms.
Dr. Mrs Allanah described the forthcoming anniversary as an opportunity to celebrate the vision and sacrifices of the association’s founding members, honour past and present leaders, and appreciate partners whose support has sustained the organisation over the years.
The President reaffirmed the association’s commitment to expanding its programmes on women empowerment, leadership development, grassroots mobilisation, and community service, stressing that De-Crown Women Association would continue to collaborate with government and relevant stakeholders to advance inclusive development and improve the lives of women across Delta North Senatorial District.
