by CEE-HOPE INTERACTIVE
This podcast features a number of series mirroring the plights and aspirations of Nigerian women and children on a variety of issues. Ranging from a focus on the rising incidences of domestic violence against women in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic to how children and young people have fared in the same pandemic, these series come raw, are authentic, and brought you in the voices of the typically unheard, marginalised and forgotten majority. You would love what you hear.But we would love it even more if these voices are heard far and near and that much needed change comes as a result.
