Following the rejection of the bill seeking equal rights of women with men by the senate on March, 15, where senators threw out a bill seeking to legally guarantee women equal rights with men, many agitators have raised their voices against the development.
ACTS Generation, which is a non governmental organization partnered with Media Concern Initiative to protest the bill rejection.
The group mobilized men and women, dressed in black in Lagos in a protest and awareness walk yesterday (March, 23). The march commenced at LTV 8 compound, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos.
Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Dominic was one of the participants who raised their voices against the bill rejection which spelled out inequality in gender.
Rita shared a photo from the scene of the walk on her Instagram page and wrote:
