Bias justice system has been identified as the cause of women’s waning confidence in the demand for their human rights and place in society.

According to Mrs. Oyeyemi Tinubu, Chairperson, National Membership Committee, Young Women Christian Association, YWCA, the dearth of transparency in the Nigerian justice system had resulted in women hiding under the culture of silence than risking their lives in demand for justice.

While speaking at the annual World YWCA Membership Day in Lagos, Mrs. Tinubu said: “These days, you go to the law court, you are unable to get justice.

“Even when you go to the church, the counselling will be to submit subserviently. When a lady reports to the police that she was raped, she is laughed to scorn.

“Our socio-cultural background has sturdily invaded and manipulated our sense of justice system.”
