African Women in TIB* (AWOTIB) condemn in strong terms, the continuing detention of Kemisola Oguniyi and several others who are victims of illegal arrests and unwarranted detention.
One expects every government to support the advocacy to end violence against women. It then becomes worrisome, when teenage girls get arbitrarily arrested and detained during a nationwide protest against oppression, exploitation, and brutality. Such which describe the #EndSARS protests of October, 2020.
The Akeredolu-led government of Ondo state appears not to appreciate the global role of women and gender justice.
We therefore demand that government adheres to the principles of supremacy of law. Part of which are avoidance of arbitrariness, fairness, and legal transparency.
While urging all Women's organisations, revolutionary movements, the Nigerian Bar Association, and Civil Society groups/organisations to join us in this call for justice, let it be noted that *injustice to one, is injustice to all*.
No woman....No nation.
