After my landmark testimony at the National Assembly last year that stopped a bill affecting 40 million Nigerians from passing, it hit me.
What if we could teach more people to do same nationally or within their states? We can rewrite unjust and abusive mental health laws.

I keep saying this. We are yet to feel the full effects of the pandemic on our mental health.
This is beyond languishing.
There's so much more to come.
I am only just seeing the story of #HinyUmoren. So devastating! I am scared for myself, sisters, friends and female acquaintances. No woman deserves unsafety. No woman should live looking over their shoulder. We deserve and demand safety. Gosh!
In all, kudos to to @nkeiruka_reps for this bill. I believe taking this step to ensure more women are on the legislative table will cause a lot of women who have capacities to via easily without any obstacles.
