Our Lives in the Village
The lived realities of adolescent girls in Nigeria focus on the impact of resource and livelihood-based conflict between sedentary farmers and nomadic pastoralists.
In the context of global, regional and local advocacy, women’s stories and realities–in particular young women’s and adolescents’ realities– are almost always missing from negotiations and decision-making in the hallways of power. Our experiences are often reduced to keywords, trendy concepts, and wordsmithing in resolutions and agreements. And our challenges, successes and experiences, oversimplified in reports and numbers. Our Lived Realities explores women and young people’s experiences in their own voices, and how those conditions affect their autonomy, sexuality, wellbeing, pleasure and decision-making.
