Challenges Faced By Nigerian Women; Changing The Narrative

Nigeria is considered a secular country yet, its culture, religions, and norms are wholly patriarchal, denying women some privileges and rights. Gender inequality is one canker-worm that has eaten deep into the fabric of society. Women are confronted with issues of inheritance, citizenship rights, widowhood, family planning, and travel approvals from their spouses among others. Gist Nigeria takes a look at some of the pressing issues affecting the Nigerian woman and possible solutions. Gist Nigeria is a 30-minute current affairs programme, co-produced by Channels Television and the BBC.
