For Mother’s Day, I want to celebrate Nigeria’s hardworking and amazing women who deserve celebration every day. I’ll be sharing stories on Facebook and Instagram about mothers I have met—who need a helping hand. It’s not easy being a woman in Nigeria. Women face violence and sexual assault, are punished if they become widows, and are demonized by superstitious church teachings that, with devastating consequences, can also affect their children. While we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s not forget that without women, there would be no life on Earth. Support a mother who truly needs it.
