Super Glad to produced and directed this for Civicus. Happier because I told the stories of the women who inspire me on a daily by the tasking work they do, round-the-clock, helping survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence. It’s on all of us to create a safe space

@KneWKeeD Exactly!!! We all work in the development space and you have to be very careful of the words you use.
Let us be honest, whether you went to UN or not, that tweet is downright misleading.
Today, we facilitated a capacity building meeting for the Voice-supported community of practice (COP) for Persons with Disability (PWD) which consists of a number of voice grantee partner organizations. It was an enlightening session on disability rights and inclusivity.
Time doesn’t heal all wounds. Time can distance us from wounds. But those wounds will come out as: drinking more than you want, pushing people away, and feeling numb and disconnected from life.
The body doesn’t forget. Even when we want to.
Do the work. Take responsibility for your triggers. Learn new ways to speak to yourself. Practice the pause before the habit reaction.
That’s how wounds heal.
i’m proud of how i’ve been handling these past few days. the silent battles i fought, the moments i had to humble myself, wiped my own tears, and pat myself on the back. i’m proud of me so much, and i’m celebrating my strength. 🥰❤️
if you knew how tough it was, and how long it took some people to recover their mental health, and happiness again, you'd understand why they shut their doors at the slightest sniff of toxicity, and also why they're picky af about who they allow in their lives.
Childhood trauma (emotional neglect or abuse, abandonment etc) mutes our anger response.
We learn to repress our anger and to feel not anger at all when we should (dissociation.)
Many adults who show no anger at all are deeply furious, internally. They shove it down with food, sex, or chronic over-working.
Healing means learning to accept anger.
Anger is healthy. It shows us when we’re being violated, when to speak up, and when a person isn’t safe.
I am at Maitama Police Station and honestly even if I had doubts (which I don’t ) about the fact that Police men rape or sexual molest women they arrest at night, now all my doubt is gone!!! . There is need for total overhaul of the Nigeria Police Force!!!
