Dr Otive Igbuzor, a development and gender-based violence analyst, said 3200 Nigerian men are now feminist allies, in a move to curb gender-based violence and promote equality nationwide.
He disclosed this in a statement to DAILY POST on Thursday.
Igbuzor noted that the GBV agenda does not exist to replace women’s movements, but it “exists to support them, by mobilizing men to confront other men, challenge harmful masculinity, and using their privileges to advance rather than undermine gender justice.”
“These men are not just learning; they are taking action, leading conversations in their communities, challenging harmful gender norms, and supporting women’s rights initiatives.”
“Patriarchy is produced, enforced, and defended within male-dominated systems. It cannot be dismantled without men changing their beliefs, behaviors, and use of power,” he said.
