It’s open season on all sexual predators as women abroad and within our borders are opening up about their sexual abuse experiences.
Sometime this week, @emani tweeted this:

Nneka has built on that post by explaining the role parents -particularly Nigerian parents- have played in slut ashaming their young daughters.
