Description

Days after the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan in light of the sexual harrassment allegations she tabled against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, we discuss the socio-cultural ripple effects of her defiance against the rotten political institution. What, if anything, might her actions might mean for women in lower economic strata of society?

We also examine the consequences of stratification among men within patriarchy and the defense of this system by higher ranking women who might seem to benefit even if only temporarily.
