Kemi Lala Akindoju has
joined other Nigerians in reacting to the viral video of educated Nigerian men
sexualizing 5-year-old girls.
According to Kemi Lala
Akindoju, the viral video of educated Nigerian men sexualizing 5-year-old girls
is just a sneak peek into the minds of the average Nigerian man.
The Nollywood
actress who stated that much work needs to be done, added that this is why we
all need to be feminists.
She wrote;
They should start showing
themselves! These men think a child in shorts is revealing her body sexually.
This is just a sneak peek into the minds of the average Nigerian man. Yet we
want Yaba male traders to stop harassing women. We have so much work to do!
Sad!!
I know some of us struggle
with the term feminism but this is why we all need to be feminists. We are not
fighting for equal rights yet. The girl child/woman is not on the same level as
her male counterparts. Nobody’s fusses on boys ‘dressing properly’ or ‘sitting
properly’
From the #MarketMarchYaba
to the new mum who went for a concert and then the paedophiles on this clip, I
am reminded that the girl child/woman in Nigeria already has the odds against
her just for being a woman. There’s so much work to do. It’s also a telling of
how we were raised
Boys are also being abused
by MEN & WOMEN (even though statistics say the men are still more). But
does anyone accuse the boys of dressing indecently and being the cause for the
rape/abuse? Can we see that the odds are already against the girl child?
