Full Interview with Josephine Agbonkese for Vanguard Allure
Twenty-five years after Beijing, the world takes stock. Where are we with gender equality?
The achievement of gender equality in Nigeria shall require a change in mindset and the prioritisation of gender impartiality. We must honestly and objectively reassess the socio-cultural, educational, health, political, economic and security structures that exist in our institutions to ensure the achievement of gender equality.
Our Girls cannot be a footnote in a history of violence, human trafficking, forced marriage tinged with psychological manipulation
On 26th January, 2020, news broke that abducted school girl, Leah Sharibu, had delivered a baby after a forced marriage to a Boko Haram Commander. Though there has been much media attention on the story, there has been absolutely no comment from the Nigerian Government or any of its related agencies.
Education is the key to breaking the cycle of violence, exploitation, poverty, inequality and injustice.
