Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s accusation of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The drama unfolded after Akpoti granted an interview, sparking a heated debate on social media.
Kate Henshaw took to Instagram to show her support for Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, posting a heartfelt piece about the strength and resilience of women. She highlighted how societal norms, religion, and tradition often relegate women to the background, perpetuating the notion that they are weak.
However, Henshaw emphasized that women are, in fact, the offspring of countless women warriors, underscoring their capacity for strength and courage. Her post served as a powerful reminder of the importance of female empowerment and solidarity.
In her words: “We are told we are weak, we are spineless, and cannot think. We accept the new role foisted on us, the subtle submission imposed by religion, by society, by tradition.”
“They tell us we cannot govern, we cannot rule, we cannot make our own decisions. They tell us to shut up and sit down. Women like children are to be seen not heard. Do you not know that in nearly all species, the female is much more deadly than the male? We are the offspring of countless women-warriors!!💪 #endofdiscussion”
