What Were the Biggest Gender Stories of 2021?

What Were the Biggest Gender Stories of 2021?

📌We finally got a judgment in the Abuja Raid On Women case.

📌We hosted the first-ever Glass Ceiling Convention

📌There was the story about a special assistant to the Ebonyi State Governor resigning to save her Marriage.

📌Then there was the story of some work-at-home wives faking illness and getting hospitalized because of excessive housework.

📌And that led us to a big conversation about how society treats Work At Home Spouses.

📌And as if to confirm our point, a Kenyan court ruled that work-at-home spouses are entitled to financial compensation.

📌We had a very important conversation about Gender Equality in Parenting.

📌We talked quite a bit about women as Breadwinners, especially after the Australian study which showed they were more likely to be abused by their spouses.

📌And then, there was the proposal at the National Assembly to create women-only seats.

Are Wives Who Make More Money More Likely To Be Abused?

Australian Bureau of Statistics has been collecting very detailed data on domestic abuse and violence for a long time. But over the last 10 years, they’ve been collecting very detailed data about domestic violence as it relates to income. And here’s what the data shows.

The moment a woman starts making more than half the money in the family, the chances of her husband abusing her emotionally increase by 20%.

These people who are often women are working very hard.

They’re running a home, they’re raising kids, they’re ensuring food is available, they’re planning meals, they’re keeping things clean… They’re doing the jobs of multiple people, and getting the financial reward of zero.

On today's #TheGlassCeiling, look at this story:

"There was a lady who I wanted to come and work with us. But she didn't have an MBA. So included it in her offer letter.

She turned the offer down because her husband said that it would be bad for their marriage if she got a masters before him."

What do you think about her husband's reason?

What do you think of the wife's decision to give up the job?

Why Are Women Getting Harassed For Wearing Abayas?

We’re talking about this because it’s happening right now, in different parts of Nigeria. I started noticing the discussion on social media about 3 weeks ago. Apparently, men of different ages are accosting abaya-wearing women in public.

They’re claiming that it’s not a decent way for a Muslim women to dress. She’s too exposed apparently. And these women are subjected to all kinds of assault: from heckling, to insults, to physical assault.

Do you believe a man’s only real job is to make money and come back?

And do you believe handling the domestic chores is a woman’s job? 

What about situations where the woman ALSO goes out and works to earn money for the family?
