#MarketMarchYaba was a success! The reaction was unexpected for me. Like the Yaba boys threw water and stones at us, it was as if we unleashed the beast in them and today I saw the physical demonstration of mysogyny, they got aggressive and resorted to physical abuse
#SexforMarks OAU Prof bags two years jail term. Justice is served!
Kudos to Dr. Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi @abiolaak of the WARDC team @womenadvocate for pushing this through & congratulations to Monica for speaking out, for refusing to adopt the culture of silence! Victory for all!
Thank you to the women who worked behind the scenes to ensure the OAU lecturer got his sentencing and the Judge who presided over this case. Prof Richard’s tears mean nothing. This is a warning, the law is coming to your neck of woods. #EndRape#SexualHarassment#NotoViolence
Can we stop calling this marriage and call it what it really is, religious and state-sanctioned pedophilia and rape. The Nigerian government took the time out of their busy legislative lives to pass a bill criminalising marriage between gay people but allows this travesty.
Leadership is a main part of our mission. Proud to see one of the #ProjectKadara mentors living out this principle and building the capacity of those around her. #leadhership
We also believe it's time to tap the power of the youth and ensure that girls in our community are empowered and equiped for leadership positions. #ProjectKadara https://t.co/BKZZOk0XG3
@oaaigbe@womenfundng@Naijavote@DCynthiaM@obyezeks@GarbaBinta We started this in 2015 with our Young Women Leaders Program in secondary & higher institutions.
To date, we have launched the YWLs in 5 institutions - Kogi Poly, FUTO Owerri, Bida Poly, Bingham & GSS Jabi, Abuja (Project Kadara)
2 female SUG Presidents emerged from Bida & FUTO
@WakawaSaratu@OmolayoNkem@Chimamandabook Yessss! I read the essay and I have the book. It's on my #2018 reading list. Because #sexismsodeep, it's important that we use our collective voices to call it out for what it is and fight against it whichever way we can. That's why @ProjectKadara is needed.
Happy happy birthday to @FunkeBaruwa! She's the CEO of @womenfundng and was instrumental in the creation of #ProjectKadara. Today we celebrate her life and the strides she's making towards bridging the gender gap (esp in govt) in Naija.
