Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw says Nigerian laws treat women unfairly compared to men. She spoke about this problem during her recent appearance on Arise TV. Henshaw believes the legal system teaches Nigerian men to see women as less important than themselves. The actress thinks this creates major problems for women across the country. She wants people to change how they view women and their rights.
Henshaw pointed to the Violence Against Persons Prohibition laws as proof of her claims. She says these rules allow men to punish their wives which makes violence against women seem normal. The actress questions why lawmakers would create such unfair rules for married couples. She believes these laws help men control women through fear and violence. Henshaw thinks the legal system needs complete changes to protect women better.
The actress talked about religious teachings to support her argument for equal treatment. She mentioned the Bible story about how God created woman to stand next to man as his equal partner. Henshaw says women deserve the same respect and protection that men receive under Nigerian law. She wants lawmakers to write new rules that give women equal rights. The actress hopes her comments will start important conversations about fairness between men and women.
