  • Empowering Girls Through Education and Health Access to Break Cycles of Gender Violence

    Empowering Girls Through Education and Health Access to Break Cycles of Gender Violence
    Dec 4 2025

    Welcome to this episode of the ENYTinG Gender podcast, part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender‑Based Violence. Dr. Nwadinobi discusses her experience combating harmful practices like widow abuse, early marriage, and cyber violence, and presents a plan for a global treaty.

    In this episode you’ll learn:
    Educational disparities, early marriage, and forced childbirth significantly impact Nigerian girls' lives. Additionally, widowhood customs such as shaving, imprisonment, disinheritance, and levirate marriage contribute to severe gender-based violence.

    • The alarming rise of cyber‑violence, with 58 % of women affected and 90‑95 % of deep‑fake sexual content targeting women.

    • A step-by-step advocacy model: community outreach, engaging leaders, documenting abuse, and influencing legislation. This includes a global treaty to eliminate violence against women and girls, emphasizing international advocacy's role in policy change.
