Nigerian women have taken to social media to express their anger and outrage with several voices calling for Justice.

 @chisom_xo said “Rape doesn’t have to do with what we’re wearing or what time we chose to go out!!! We have freedom of movement!!! So should we now be scared to exercise our rights just cause rapists wouldn’t stop raping?? It has to do with the rapists not the victims! #StopRapingWomen”

Reacting to the recent reports of sexual Violence, WellBeing Foundation’s Toyin Saraki said “Instead of keeping our promise to protect and empower women and girls, in Nigeria in 2020, we are still burying them.”

She called for radical reform of the police, to end the impunity of sexual violence against women and girls.

“In the name of all our global and national commitments to women and girls, the Nigerian state must make systemic changes to protect our young girls.” She said.
