YOUNG MAN NARRATES THE EXPERIENCE THAT MADE HIM BECOME A FEMINIST


A Nigerian man identified as Chuka Nwanazia as shared a story on the strength and impact of women, he has taken to Twitter to narrate his childhood experience that made him become a feminist. He narrated his story reflecting on  changing the way the world perceive the strength of a woman and how the death of  a childhood friend initiated his decision.




He made his reason for becoming a feminist known while sharing the story of a friend and playmate called Halima who he grew up with in Asaba. He said she was married off to an old Alhaji when she was less than 12 years old. The underage marriage she was subjected to ended up being the cause of her death as she died during childbirth, at the age of 12. He wrote;While growing up in Asaba, I had this neighbor & friend called Halima. We used to play a lot together. One day her dad took her back to Katsina to marry an old Alhaji. Halima was only 12 & died at childbirth. She’s the reason I became a feminist. I still see her in my dreams.
