51. Let’s Talk About Sex-ism

51. Let’s Talk About Sex-ism

Through a reflection on recent occurrences we dissect sexism and patriarchy in Nigeria along with our guest, comrade Haleesa, from the Out of The Box podcast. Focusing on electoral politics, employment rates, ownership and education, we discuss the challenges facing women in Nigeria. We examine the strength of a feminist counter movement and the strength of representation in challenging the status quo.

We also look at the journey of feminism so far through the lens of policy, social organization and identity formation in our African society. We scrutinize the gains that have been made for the rights of women culturally, legally and sociologically in recent times whilst exploring the intersection of class exploitation and gender dynamics. Are we pushing towards a more egalitarian society? Have things regressed? What is the way forward with regards to the fight for womens' emancipation in Nigeria?
