We are present in the 774 local government and around the 36 states including FCT.

NCWS operates through a federated structure comprising national, state, and local chapters, ensuring that our reach and impact extend from the grassroots to the highest levels of government and society.

Our mission is to unify and empower Nigerian women through advocacy, capacity-building, policy engagement, and grassroots mobilization. We strive to create a society where every woman has a voice, access to opportunities, and the ability to shape her own future.

We envision a Nigeria where women are fully empowered, respected, and active contributors in every aspect of national life – from the home to the parliament, from the marketplace to the boardroom.

Over the decades, NCWS has influenced gender-inclusive policies, raised awareness on key issues affecting women, and empowered thousands of women across Nigeria through our various initiatives and programs.
