Women have the same intrinsic worth as men
But yet women have been discriminated against at every level. Women have limited access to education, land ownership and assets in Nigeria.
Women are denied equal treatment in inheritance issues, human resources development and sustainable economic development.
Women make up more than 50% of the Nigerian population, yet we are not represented enough in the Nigerian Senate. It's entirely unfair to exclude a major part of the population from contributing to the growth of our Nation for archaic and oppressive reasons.
Gender equality is not just a human rights issue, it is essential for the achievement of sustainable development and a peaceful prosperous world.
Therefore it is entirely counterproductive to restrict women access to opportunities that empower women.
Women have the same intrinsic worth as men. They are not objects of pleasure to men that can be used and disposed of at any time.
Therefore any custom that that seeks to treat women as inferior to men should not stand.
