The lockdown affected the world in numerous ways and as with many things, had an added layer for women and girls. All over the world, reports of domestic violence and sexual abuse rose dramatically. This episode triea to answer why.

On this episode, we talk about the Acting Chief Judge in Cross River State, who was NOT confirmed, because she is originally from Akwa Ibom.

This is even though she is the most senior judge in the State, and her husband is from there.

To mark International Women’s Day, we did something different this week. There is no special topic, and in fact, you won’t be hearing from me. You will be hearing from other women. Everyday women. Sixty Women over the next Sixty Minutes. These women, from all works of life, from all ages, and from all over the globe, answered a question I asked:

“What would you change about Nigeria, to make life better for women?”

They thought about it, based on the lives THEY have lived, and sent me their answers.

And here they are.

The Nigerian Law holds women back in so many ways. This episode explores all the ways it does this.

On this episode, we continued last week’s conversation. Last week, I brought you a story that Pastor Adeboye told. I’m talking about Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. He was tweeting about how to handle sexual tension in a workplace. Like I told you last week, the title of his sermon was “Crush That Crush”. It was really for married people. He was advising them not to allow friendships or work relationships with people of the opposite sex get TOO close, or TOO emotional, because na from clap dance dey start. Friendships lead to crushes, which COULD lead to something more. And he focused workplace crushes.

A group of women are petitioning the National Youth Service Corps, to let them DECLINE to wear the trousers. They want to have the option to wear SKIRTS as part of their NYSC uniform.

The group is called the “Serve with Skirts Movement".
