There Is A Petition To Stop Harassment In Lagos Markets And We’re All Very Proud

Finally!

A group of people have written a petition to the Lagos State House of Assembly to take action to stop harassment in Lagos markets.

The petition was submitted on the 30th of May and we could not be happier.

Particularly for those who have been victims at one point or the other and guys who have witnessed the harassment first hand.

Like this guy who legit went hulk on the guy trying to harass his wife at the market.

And for this woman who has gone through what many women go through daily:

Someone cannot even shop in peace again:

Really, these streets aren’t safe, especially for women:

So this petition is making people very happy.

We just hope that Lagos lawmakers really decide to take action to stop harassment on these streets.
