Nigeria, March 12 -- For the last three years, Nigeria's National Assembly (NASS) has had a bitter pill to force down women's throats in celebration of International Women's Day. If NASS is not denying the passage of a gender equal opportunity bill or voting against constitutional amendments to improve the social, political and economic rights of women then, it chooses to illegally suspend one out of only four female senators; going out of its way to prove what working women know: if you complain about sexual harassment, you will be victimised and eventually lose your job.
