Actress Kate Henshaw has criticised the way Nigerian men and laws treat women, saying they are seen as “less than human”, even within religious and legal systems.
  • Henshaw appeared on Arise TV to mark her 32nd year in Nollywood.
  • She said many Nigerian men don’t see women as equals, citing cultural and legal failings.
  • The actress faulted churches for misrepresenting biblical gender equality.
  • She criticised laws that favour men, including citizenship rules and domestic violence protections.
  • Henshaw said women are often treated like objects, both socially and legally.

Henshaw’s remarks strike at a deep-rooted issue in Nigeria, gender inequality shaped by tradition, religion, and outdated laws. Her comments reflect growing frustration with how systems still allow men to dominate public and private life. By using biblical references and real legal examples, she challenges both faith leaders and lawmakers to rethink how they uphold injustice. It’s a reminder that respect and equality for women shouldn’t be foreign concepts or only found abroad.
