    Societal Ills Plaguing the Girl Child: Cultural Norms that serve as Enablers
    2021/05/08
    Apart from sexual gratification itself, sexual violence against women is often a result of unequal power equations, both real and perceived between men and women, and is also strongly influenced by cultural factors and values. Sexual violence is likely to occur more commonly in cultures that foster beliefs of perceived male superiority and social and cultural inferiority of women. Kalra, G. & Bhugra, D. (2013) Indian Journal of Psychiatry

    In many societies, women, as well as men, regard marriage as entailing the obligation on women to be sexually available virtually without limit. Even outside of marriage, women may have extremely few legitimate options to refuse sexual advances. World Health Organization, First World Report on Violence and Health (2002).

  • VFD Group #ChoosetoChallenge The Marketplace Lens

    VFD Group #ChoosetoChallenge The Marketplace Lens
    2021/03/22
    The Council on Foreign Relations and the McKinsey Global Institute indicated that Nigeria’s gross domestic product could grow by 23% by 2025 if women participated in the economy to the same extent as men.” However, limited access to finance remains a major challenge that prevents women from fully participating in the economy.
    Some of the recommendations made to a financial institution in Nigeria to challenge this narrative include: Simplifying and streamlining the loan application process, Provision of single-digit interest rates for loans given to women entrepreneurs, Facilitate capacity building workshops to ensure women entrepreneurs understand how to apply for loans to start or upscale a business.
    Exploring how VFD is Choosing To Challenge gender barriers from a marketplace lens, Theresa Ezeh of VFD Group sat with me to share the Group’s philosophy and approach.
