Society's Definition of A Woman
Переглядів 86Місяць тому
Women are often defined by their relationship to the men in their lives: their fathers, husbands, and sons. We share how this negates a woman's autonomy and the ripple effects this has on her well-being. Watch the video here and share your thoughts and comments.

Why Women Should carry Their Own Condoms
Well done Ramat and the team
Thank you so so much!
So sad! Enhancing access to quality maternal healthcare services are imperative for reducing maternal deaths in Nigeria. It requires a concerted effort from the government, healthcare providers, and communities to ensure that every woman has the opportunity to receive the care she deserves without the burden of long travel distances.
You are so right. Thank you!
I remain optimistic that the gaps to access will continue to close. ❤ Thank you for the awareness.
We hold the same optimism. Thank you for watching!
It's so sad after all the struggles 😢
Indeed it is. Thank you for watching!
Sadiya ❤❤❤❤
A short film that tells us a story of what thousands of families go through in Nigeria especially in rural communities where there is lack of primary health care and distance is a barrier. God bless Shades of us for this initiative and advocacy.
We are so grateful! Thank you so much!!
This is beautiful
Thank you!!
My girl Remy on this one
Thank you very much for the support!
Thank you for this. Sadly, this is the reality of many women in our society.
It is the sad reality. Thank you so much for watching!
Umami is such a fantastic actor
She truly is!
No, my heart broke so much here! 2:26
We completely get you!
God, that long walk.. I can only imagine 💔💔
No one should ever have to go through that
Timely healthcare delivery especially for pregnant women is a right and needs to be talked about more often... Great advocacy Shades of us 🎉
You are absolutely correct. Thank you for sharing!
Great tool for advocacy kudos Shades of Us Team💪
Thank you very much!🎉🎉🎉
@@ShadesofUsAfricagreat work and the world is yet to witness what you have. 🎉
The reality of Maternal struggles 😢 #Ummi
Thank you for watching. It is a struggle.
One mother dying is too much 😢
One mother dying is too much! Thank you for watching.
Let's do more for our communities. Great film
Thank you so much for watching! We are grateful !
Oh my God. This is touching
Thank you so so much!
This short film tells the story of thousands of rural communities across Africa.
Thank you so much for watching!
This is beautiful. Well done to Shades of us
@@leslieaustinudoh7383 thank you so much!!
A short film that tells the story of thousands of families in Nigeria, especially the rural communities. I see them almost everyday. Indeed, no woman should die giving birth. Huge thanks to Shades of Us for putting this together.👏🏽 We look forward to more of this.
@@MisbahuelHamza thank you so so much! I really do appreciate you!
Well done Shades of Us, this was so good! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@AnajaDee thank you so much! We do love you!
No pregnant woman should die due to lack of primary health care facility within a 1km radius. Thank you for advocacy on Maternal and infant mortality issue across Nigeria especially in our Northern parts.
@@gwarzaladan-mutum5259 we appreciate you! Thank you for watching!
It’s here!!!!🎉
@@Typically_Maureen yes! Thank you for supporting us!
🥳👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for cheering us on!
Wicked
the grammar 🤣🤣😂😂😢😢🤨🤨🫤😭😭😭😭!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I understand this is serious but the grammar is just wrong man....
We need to encourage girls. 💕💕💕 Funding and support are key. I was a high school marathon runner, and I sometimes wonder how my life would have turned if I had the chance to stay in sports. I know you shot this video eons ago but I love the evergreen message that really resonates this Olympics season. My favorite women in sports are the ballerina Misty Copeland, the footballer Asisat Oshoala, and from the 2024 Olympics, the sprinter Rhashidat Adeleke.
@@exotiknuella we are sure you would have made a great runner. Thank you so much for watching this and sharing your thoughts and the women in sports that you love. Together, we can do so much! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Tobi Amusan is a world record holder. Rebecca Andrade of Brazil is the most decorated Brazilian in the Olympics. Simone Biles is doing amazing work in Gymnastics. Nigeria’s D’Tigress, our female basketball team has been making us proud. Their coach, Rena Wakama, won best coach in the just concluded Olympics
@@uchendidi2729 all such amazing women! And we are especially proud that they are African women! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for commenting!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I think the only place I've lived in that has 24 hours was in Bonny, Rivers State. I like the model suggested for exploring renewable energy options. It's the long-term thinking it requires from our politicians that makes it hard. A way to help would be like you suggested. Starting small. Policy: If organizations can get tax write offs when they use clean energy sources and/for donations to CSR projects. Education: Awareness campaigns across literacy levels and platforms (radio, TV, media) that explain in simple terms the affordable options that exist. MTN has a solar power package they offer.
You are absolutely right. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and watching the video! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Start voting reasonable leaders instead of dictators more interested in helping their own citizens than buying sport cars and building mansions. We can't help you unless you start helping yourself.
I love your channel.
@@Ajokebrownmedia thank you so much!
Good.
Thank you for commenting!
Well done Ramat 👏 ✔️
Thank you so much 😀
Not bad! This was thought provoking and topical. Good stuff.
Thank you so much! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
