“Women face harm from the system and from the men they fight alongside—and yet we are constantly told to seek justice through this very system. When will be the right time for these discussions about gendered violence?” Writes @tamimak_ “Nigerian women are saying the time is now. Spearheading the ongoing #EndSARS movement, women are organizing, mobilizing, and pooling resources to help the protests all across Nigeria. The @feminist.co has taken on the bulk of this work.” @tamimak_ adds, “However, last week the feminist Coalition announced that it would be closing its crowdfunding channels after the Nigerian government issues severe warnings for protestors to desist from another week of demonstrations. The group went silent on social media after the release of their most decisive statement yet, in which they urged Nigerian youths to observe state-mandated curfews in an effort to save lives. The news sent shockwaves it sadness across the timeline, as we relegated on the impact of these women. In just two weeks, they raised close to half the funds distributed at the height of the protests. The road map that these women have laid out is one that other emerging groups would be wise to follow.” Thank you @tamimak_ for writing this story for @voguemagazine and special thanks @yagazieemezi and @moj_bot ❤️🇳🇬 Link in bio
