Nollywood actress, Shine Rosman has called on the Lagos State Government to address what she described as the growing normalisation of sexual harassment in public spaces across the state.
Speaking during a recent interview, the actress expressed concern over the alleged rate of inappropriate touching and harassment experienced by women in areas such as Yaba.
She said; “Do you know how bad sexual harassment is in Lagos. Like go to Yaba, as a girl and see how you will be touched inappropriately.”
“Everybody hearing this knows that it is true. But till today, nothing is being done about it. You’re walking in Yaba and people are touching you inappropriately and nothing will happen.”
“If the government is not going to do anything, is it not ok for us to defend ourselves?”
“In 2026, in a country like Nigeria, sexual harassment is still one of the most passive things.”
“If a man can sexually harass you, casually, during the day, what do you think he can do behind closed doors when no one is looking?”
