In Lagos, big markets such as Yaba, Balogun and Oshodi have traders and customers interacting almost 24/7 every single day. For big markets such as the ones earlier stated in Lagos specifically, you can say the crowd and movement of people, noise, air pollution, traffic can be some of the many discouraging aspects for customers who frequently go to these markets. However, these are all situations that for the most part may not be avoidable. It’s more or less part and parcel with the location and general feel of the market. Nonetheless, theres an aspect of going to these markets; especially as a woman, that has constantly put a strain on the regular market visits and raised voices of concerns from women . And this is the blatant lack of respect and care for the woman’s body to the extent of (without consent)Harrasing, groping, stroking, grabbing And pulling all in the name of wanting to “sell market”. This increasing attitude of male traders and hoodlums on women over the years have been so normalized that it was never a call for concern. It has been internalized to the point where women themselves have started to believe nothing can be changed and have accepted the harassment as a norm . Before and after what was a successful protest that held at one of the markets, Yaba, we had 100s of women coming out to tell their stories of how they had been harassed by these strangers and hoodlums in the market in the name of “looking nice”,”having something worth touching”, “being a woman” etc. these stories and more are what fueled the need to continue the works of Market March which aims to deconstruct the norm that is sexual assault in Lagos Markets to make it a less threatening place for women to be able to freely go , shop and leave by sensitizing , educating and putting strict laws In place that can aid this movement and bring it to actualization. Our culture does not permit such blatant disrespect for women's bodies and we the respectable citizen's of the state must fight to uphold our values.</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Mon, 17 Dec 2018 04:33 UTC</pubDate> <quid isPermaLink="false">97145</quid> </item> <item> <title>The Government and the people of OGORI-MAGONGO LGA https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/the-government-and-the-people-of-ogori-magongo-lga.html?utm_medium=rss Ogori-Magongo local government ought to developed beyond her present developmental status but due to self aggrandizement and bad leadership development still remain static .

Une corruption à ciel ouvert où il n'est plus question de dessous de tables, mais de dessus de table puisque faite ostensiblement, arrogament et au vu et su de tout le monde.

C'est à mots voilés qu'on vous fait comprendre que c'est une pratique qui est bien enracinée et qui a des tentacles à des hauts niveaux. On voudrait limiter le brassage des populations qu'on ne s'y prendrait pas autrement, car seuls les téméraires seraient prêt à resubir pareil calvaire.

Muslims in the Northern Nigeria have killed Christians Biafrans like flies. The only thing that can stop the killings is granting Biafrans their freedom from the Muslims of Northern Nigeria. This will isolate terrorism in the North.

Please act fast to save lives. Thanks.

Those measures very often included air and sea restrictions and border closures with countries where the virus has been identified.

This situation creates a de facto quarantine of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia against the recommendations of the World health Organizations (WHO) and many humanitarian groups (including the International Federation of Red Cross & Medecins Sans Frontieres) at the frontline of the battle to defeat the EVD.

In many instances, the WHO has repeated not recommending travel or trade restrictions for the affected countries and has called for lifting the embargo. But it is not being heard.

We have watched the mothers of Nigeria crying for thier daughters and we have chosen to join them in their fight to get their daughters back. Their daughters are our daughters.

Join us in signing this petition to get them back.

1. The mine wants to take water from existing water users;
2. If the mine takes our water, the historically dispossessed Wallmansthal community won’t be able to farm the land it fought to reclaim;
3. The Wallmansthal wetlands will be destroyed;
4. The community will suffer because of radiation from mine waste;
5. Dust problems will damage local businesses that give jobs to the community;
6. Using contract miners means there will be no decent jobs for local people;
7. The mine will attract more informal settlements & more crime;
8. Degradation of natural environment;
9. Decrease in property value.

]]> Wed, 3 Jul 2013 04:38 UTC 62970 Sudanese Government: Stop Genocidal Attacks in South Kordofan! https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/sudanese-government-stop-genocidal-attacks-in-south-kordofan.html?utm_medium=rss On October 16, 2012 the cooperating Sudan-focused organisations Satellite Sentinel Project, Enough Project and Nuba Reports have released a video and photo report on massive war crimes carried out by members of the Sudanese Central Reserve Police also known as Abu Tira in a village called Gardud as Badry near the border to South Sudan on May 18, 2012.

For the first time and with the help of the cell phone video material, four of the attackers in the video could be unmistakeably identified by their uniform and emblem as members of the notoriously brutal police force Abu Tira. For more than a year, people in the area had reported of systematic razings of several villages and mass killings of Nuba people who the police forces had mistaken for rebels of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N).

This is only the current peak of ongoing attacks and violence carried out by national troops in the region: Since July 2011 the border area to South Sudan has been bombed by the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Popular Defense Forces (PDF) almost every day (see www.nubareports.org). As a result, more than 400,000 people are trying to escape the region, seek for shelter in the mountains, lots of them are suffering severe health and nourishment problems. The denial of humanitarian help adds to the crimes committed by the government.

Nosotros los residentes del norte de África Amazighs de lengua, cultura, identidad y pertenencia a la tierra ancestral, planteamos esta correspondencia a la UNESCO des las Naciones Unidas para que apruebe un dia internacional dedicado a la lengua tamazight, en uno de sus dias de las celebraciones internacionles, ya que esta lengua conta con una carga útil, civilizacional y cultural de gran anitiguidad en el tiempo y su importante papel en preservar este patrimonio humanitario para que se publique. Ya que es el idioma la mayoria de la población del norte de África (Tamazgha) y sin distinccion la necesitan sus hablantes nativos.
