A United Nations Peace Ambassador, Unyime Ivy King and Dr Onofiok Luke, who delivered keynote speeches celebrating the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women further stated that the quest for gender equality was not a quest for supremacy or seeking undue authority over men but simply an insistence on equal treatment for fellow humans who happen to be women.
Onofiok demanded for equal opportunities for women at corporate establishments and the outlawing of obnoxious cultural practices such as a woman drinking of bath water of the corpse of her late husband to prove her innocence and the female organ mutilation.
She stated that the practice should be stopped if these practices do not apply to men.
