#JusticeForWhoNext?: Remembering Our ‘Stolen’ Amazons

It seems like our grief is reborn whenever we hear a new case of a Nigerian woman being raped and killed. It feels like that with every single hashtag.

Imagine what their lives could have become had they been spared. Over the years, women have risen from the backseat of the polity to become pilots of progress in every facet of society. Within the United States, for instance, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant group resident in the country, 2017 data from the Migration Policy Institute shows.

The issue of disunity is even spreading beyond culture, as it is now becoming a PatriarchyFc vs FeministFc division now and then on social media. If the memories of these women we have listed are anything to be honoured, then it is high time we increased advocacy on a need for harbouring positive viewpoints on rape and crime in general.

For some others, Nigeria needs to boost more effort in support systems for sexual assaults referral centres . As some women are traumatised, if they are lucky enough to survive the incident, they do not report the crime immediately to the police. Hence, these referral centres provide physical and mental health care, including forensic services.

May the Lord comfort the family at this trying period.
