Women are important in every sphere of life. Their inclusion in decision making can give a good yield in family and nation building. There has been a social prism that women are meant for only domestic duties and not to be too engaged in public issues. This conference paper addresses these issues and highlights the need for women involvement in all inclusive decision making towards family and national building. The place of the woman, the man, the society, the government and the Non-Governmental Organization is as well highlight to solve the diagnosed problem. As part of the recommendations, the woman is expected to put herself in a place where the society and the government will see her that she is ready to take up the mantle to participate in decision making. This can be done through constant updating herself at the slightest opportunity to meet up the challenge of the day and to contribute meaningfully to the family and the nation at large.
