Dismantle patriarchy to end sexual assaults, violence suffered by women - MI Abaga

Rapper MI Abaga has called for the dismantling of patriarchy as a means of ending sexual assaults and violence suffered by women.

The rapper stated this amid a cry from Nigerians calling for justice for Uwaila Omozuwa, a UNIBEN student raped and murdered in Edo State.

Taking to Twitter, MI Abaga shared a video showing a man molesting an unsuspecting woman inside a commercial vehicle in Nigeria.

He wrote: "If there is one thing I hope all men do in this period.. is sit with the women around you and listen, let them share their stories (if they want to) and their experiences on being a woman in our society.. listen and then commit to change.

"It’s about speaking truth to our brothers, fathers and sons when they transgress.. we can not change the world by just repainting it.. we must tear down the systems that support a society where men can wreak such evil.

"And while we as men listen to truth in this period, let us remember it is not only about the change towards violence, it’s about ensuring that there is equity in your workplaces and schools. It's about dismantling patriarchy by supporting women into positions of leadership."
