The $27 Million Question

In January 2026, the United States withdrew from UN Women. One executive order. Millions of women across the world are left without the resources, programmes and protection they depended on to survive. In this episode of The Mirror and the Mic, Sola Rae asks the question nobody seems to be asking: What does it actually mean when the world's most powerful country decides women are not worth the budget? What does it mean for Nigeria specifically? And what does it mean for Africa's dependence on foreign aid to fund the most basic rights of its own women? This is not just about America. This is about us. The $27 million question is not really about money. It is about who decides which women matter.
