In Lagos, Nigeria there is an organization called Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND). KIND helps women
and girls advance in spirit and education so they can possibly one day be
leaders for social and economical change. They first are teaching women and girls
to be responsible for their own lives, body, communities and eventually the
nation of Nigeria. They live in a male dominant society and are trying to gain their
basic rights as woman. The change in this regards is moving slowly (Global Fund
for Children, 2011).
Looking at the video has opened my eyes
to the poverty of Nigeria. What I know of Lagos was not that because I enjoy their
movie industry. It is recorded in the nicer part of Lagos. Most of the
characters in the movie were women. However, just like any city there is the
poor and the rich.
