Street harassment is one of the most annoying/disrespectful things Nigerian women go through regularly. If you’ve ever gone to Yaba market, you will understand how disrespectful most of the traders are, especially towards women.
Upset by what women go through in the hands of these men, Twitter user, UPNEPA, asked women to share their stories.
And believe it or not, the responses will leave you shocked and angry.
The fact that Nigerian women continue to be publicly harassed and disrespected by certain men shows how low society generally regards women. Women should be able to move freely and safely regardless of whatever outfit she has on. Women must be seen as human beings, not objects that can picked on, talked down on and tossed aside. We all have a responsibility to speak and act against any form of assault around us.
