The #MeToo movement is spreading across Muslim-majority northern Nigeria using #ArewaMeToo.
Arewa is the general term used to refer to northern Nigeria - a conservative society with a majority Muslim population where issues surrounding sex and sexuality are rarely discussed publicly.
Betty Abah, the director of the Centre for Children’s Health, Education, Orientation and Protection NGO said she thinks “the bravery of the women [speaking out] is similar to a revolution.”
