Mouka, the market leader in Nigeria's sleep industry, has joined other
reputable organisations around the globe to mark this year's International
Women's Day (IWD).
Mouka is calling for a gender-equal world free of bias, stereotypes, and
discrimination— a world where difference is valued and celebrated.
This was the standpoint of the Company's Head Of Human Resources, Mrs
Ifeoma Okoruen, who stated that women in Mouka and the world must
contribute to societal growth despite the disparity in roles. According to her,
the world needs to celebrate great achievements by women while giving
more women the opportunity to make their mark within their sphere of
influence. She made her stance known during Mouka's IWD celebration,
which was held across all 3 plants in Lagos, Kaduna and Benin on March 8
2023.
Marked annually on March 8, IWD was adopted by the United Nations in
1975 as a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to
issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, violence, and abuse
against women.
