Time feels so strange in lockdown: each day is painfully slow, yet every Sunday I find myself asking where the week went. Anyway, here we are again: it's time for #EyalaReads, your weekly list of recommended reads about #Feminism #WomensRights & #Africa.
Don't be like me: don't hurl your phone across the room when reading this @thelilynews piece. Mothers in heterosexual relationships are quitting jobs they love because their partners can't handle their own kids during the lockdown.

Speaking of #lockdown: I know we're all tired of reading about "Sex in the age of #COVID19" but this one is a gem. I mean, of course it is: it's on @adventurefrom. Read it!

We're so obsessed with #COVID19 that we make no space for other stories, even those we know matter. Can't say I enjoyed reading this but grateful to @BusinessDayNg for elevating the voices of #BokoHaram sexual violence survivors in #Nigeria.

I'll end with my favorite: Gambian #feminist @elite_sha celebrates African women and #Afrifem with her beautiful verses. Please read this poem. Then read it again, out loud. It is magical.
