Overview
The rise of autocracy, extremism, social polarization, and media echo-chambers remain rampant as the world grapples with geopolitical rivalry and instability. At the same time, the outcome of the U.S. election has global implications, with the probability it will affect other economies, foreign conflicts, media, and personal freedoms. Global prospects for peace (or war) are certainly in the horizon with the stalemate in the Russia’s war against Ukraine. The wars in Ukraine and Palestine highlight threats to global stability with profound implications for international alliances, peace, and development.

No woman,no nation is the slogans of the NGO ( Platform of (PAWISCA)that I took to NIgeria in or November 2022 for the empowerment of women in the society .
It's impossible to shut down women in anywhere if they anticipate to develops. Without prejudice or ambiguity in my own judgment, I think that our women's are more patient than our men's in some cases and more easy to deal with more than men of ego eccentric, they can say anything in a free society and,it's time for our women's to come out of the back stage and to proof that what men can do, woman can do it or to do it better.
This is a good idea. Interesting indeed. I will key in as a participant too. Am grateful to the local and international organisers.
A fantastic upcoming academic discourse. It promises to be eye-popping. The loads of intellectual juggernauts in the Faculty shows the seriousness in the entire planning. I'm sure the outcomes will be worth the sweat.
God bless you, Dr. Uchenna.
Very apt at this time. Will be part of it via online.
