ASSESSING THE 10 YEARS JOURNEY OF GREEN HEART IMPACT FOUNDATION (2014-2024) By dogaraCaesar
In recent years, Nigeria has made significant progress toward expanding opportunities for women, yet barriers remain that hinder their full participation in the workforce, politics, and society at large. Hon. Munira Suleiman Tanimu, a passionate advocate for women's rights and the founder of the Green Heart Impact Foundation since November 2014, who is presently a foremost legislator is at the forefront of a movement, particularly focused on the challenges faced by women, youth, and the girl child in Nigeria, with a special emphasis on Northern Nigeria.

Her Holistic Approach to Women's Empowerment:
Munira believes that the issues impacting women go beyond individual experiences; they are inherently linked to family dynamics, economic stability, and the broader future of Nigeria. Her commitment to advocating for the rights and opportunities for women and girls stems from her deep understanding of these interconnected issues. Her vision encompasses a comprehensive approach to ensuring that women are not only heard but have the means to influence policy and decision-making processes at all levels.
Political Empowerment and Economic Opportunities:
As a legislator and the Majority Leader of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Munira is dedicated to paving the way for women to assume leadership roles in politics and business. She recognizes the importance of representation and actively works to create avenues for women to occupy positions of influence. Munira is committed to empowering women with the tools, knowledge, and resources necessary to combat discrimination and advocate for their rights effectively.
She further emphasizes the importance of economic empowerment, believing that financial independence is crucial for women to have a voice in society. Through various initiatives under the Green Heart Impact Foundation, the founder aims to provide women with access to education, vocational training, and entrepreneurial opportunities, thereby equipping them to contribute meaningfully to their communities and the economy.

Addressing Violence Against Women:
One of the most pressing issues she confronts is violence against women. With alarming statistics indicating that one in five women in Nigeria is sexually assaulted and that 22% of women experience severe physical violence from intimate partners, she recognizes the urgent need for action. Munira is unwavering in her commitment to put forth bold and effective plans to address this crisis, advocating for stronger legal protections, support services for survivors, and community awareness programs aimed at changing harmful societal norms.

A Champion for Women and Girls:
Throughout her career, She has been an unwavering advocate for the rights of women and girls. She understands that the fight for gender equality is not limited to policies but is also about cultural change and the dismantling of patriarchal structures. Her tireless efforts in and out of her office are directed toward creating a more equitable society, where women and girls are not only protected but empowered to reach their fullest potential.

There is no doubt, Hon. Munira Suleiman Tanimu stands as a beacon of hope and a driven leader in the quest for women's rights and opportunities in Nigeria. Her vision for empowerment, economic independence, and the elimination of violence against women over the last 10 Years is not just aspirational; it is actionable and essential for the holistic development of Nigerian society. With leaders like Munira at the helm, the future for women and girls in Nigeria looks promising.
