This campaign raises awareness of how far women have come in Nigeria and the inequalities still facing women and girls today. In 1929, three decades before it gained independence, Nigeria saw the Aba women’s march, now one of the most famous feminist moments in Nigerian history. In 2020, it saw the #EndSARS protests, the biggest protest against police brutality the country has ever seen. But these two events have one major thing in common — they were both led by women. From health care to political access and economic empowerment, Nigerian women have historically gotten a less-than-fair share of Nigerian society. However, in the last decade, a new class of Nigerian women have emerged to lead some of the most powerful movements in the country’s history. In the fight for gender equality in Nigerian society, women have led the way.
