“Feminists need to also learn the language of advocacy so that the war looks like a gender war. We need to learn diplomacy; diplomacy is learning how to tell a man in a nice way to go to hell and he looks forward to the trip,” he said.

Also, speaking the Pioneer of the Feminist movement, Miss Yemisi Ransome-Kuti, said while it imperative for women to look out for themselves, having labels like feminism can be detrimental to the struggle.

“I don’t like the boxes or the tags. Once you label something then the opposite challenge comes and we now create another group that says we are something else. Women are in a way responsible due to the way they bring up the male child calling them the head,” she said.

The Director of the French Institute in Nigeria, Thierry Valentin, emphasized the critical need for increased male involvement in the fight against violence toward women in the country.

He noted that addressing this societal issue effectively requires men to be more proactive in promoting gender equality and supporting efforts to eradicate violence.

The Cultural Attaché at the French Embassy, Emmanuelle Harang, emphasized the existence of protective laws for women and children in Nigeria, stress the need for consistent implementation.

She encouraged all citizens, both men and women, to be deliberate about supporting one another, to prevent any form of violence and promote safety for everyone.
