Nigerian women speak out after wave of sexual violence

Many Nigerians point to a legal system they say makes it hard to convict suspected rapists and blames women when they are victims of sexual assault.The first time 36-year-old Wanda Ebe was sexually molested, she was under six years of age.

Ms Ebe said the nanny told her parents it was an accident and so, fearing for her safety, she did not say anything more at the time.Wanda Ebe often talks about her experiences in order to help other rape survivors "I did not go to the police or anyone for that matter. I did not even know that rape cases were to be reported to the police."Tough place to convict a rapistSome victims and their families, fearing stigmatisation, police extortion and a lack of trust in the judicial process, choose not to report cases to the authorities.

"The penalty for rape in Nigeria is up to 14 years in prison, but I have seen a judge sentence someone to just four years, with two years suspended, because he was young and had a life in front of him," she said.In 2019 in the capital Abuja, women who were arrested during a police raid at a night club accused the police of raping some of them.

Recent laws have broadened the scope under which sexual offences can be penalised in Nigeria, making it easier to try suspects. Ms Njemanze advises who has been raped to try and preserve evidence, like clothing, that can be used in court.

No-one cares when they cant protest and attack white people. Attention seeking children looking for social brownie points.

may be the world would be better of with the women in charge, lets face it just a recount of the last 2000 years alone, they can't make a worse job of it than the men have done, can they

greta I hope they don’t move to Minneapolis, they are eliminating cops

Do these BlackLivesMatter ? Where's the outrage?

So, where are the worldwide demos and outrage from the woke lefties? Can't blame this on 'white privilege' this time?

Ha ha ha!!! So I suppose they just lay there and got raped and then complained to someone else about it.

Nigeria is not a nice place for women. There are so many injustices in this world, we need to stop the violence.
