(2) Sex with a minor under the age of 16 will be considered statutory rape under Nigeria law

(3) The right to terminate a pregnancy is a woman’s and that of no one else

(4) Marrying a child bride shall be an offence with carries a minimum jail term of 10 years with no option of parole

(5) As from 2023, the federal and state governments will be compelled to set aside at least one third of all their political appointments for women

(6) Divorce shall be granted to either couple in a relationship on demand

(7) Every state government must create women’s cooperatives to encourage semi-processing and manufacturing

(8) Sanitary towels shall be given to all school pupils up to university level free of charge
