Book Launch: The Power of Women’s Collective Action (by Comrade Mma Odi)

Men dominate almost all spheres of public (and private) life in Igboland in southeastern Nigeria. The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung supports the Rural Women Empowerment and Development Network (RUWEN) in educating the rural population on the harmfulness of some traditional practices, in dialoguing with traditional rulers on the role of women in their societies, and in training rural women to become self-reliant citizens.

Some of the success stories have now been published in a book: The Power of Women’s Collective Action, Edited by Comrade Mma Odi. Please find the review of the book, written by the Nigerian writer and poet Olajumoke Verissimo HERE. The book is available for free at our offices in Lagos and Abuja.
