Our "Women's Equality Day" Brochure

In Nigeria today, feminism is both powerful and contested. On X, conversations about gender equality often spiral into "gender wars." Some argue feminism is hostile toward men, while others dismiss it as a Western idea that undermines tradition.
But Nigerian feminism is not one-size-fits-all. In Lagos, it may look like women demanding equal pay in tech and
creative industries. In the North, it may mean quietly challenging child marriage or advocating for girls’ education.
These differences reflect diverse realities—not levels of “enlightenment.”

What unites them is the core of feminism: the fight for dignity, equity, and safety for women in homes, workplaces, and
communities. Movements like #BeingFemaleinNigeria, #ArewaMeToo, and the Feminist Coalition during #EndSARS show how digital spaces can spark conversations and inspire change.
