Ita-Giwa Reflects on Unique Challenges Faced by Women

Ita-Giwa, who served as a senator for Cross River South from 1999 to 2003, shared her personal experiences during an interview on Arise Television. She expressed doubt that ten women have endured the same challenges she has faced, particularly highlighting her experiences with circumcision.

Ita-Giwa's reflections stem from her childhood and the adversities she encountered, which she believes are unique. She emphasized that her entry into politics was not driven by a desire to become a politician but rather to give a voice to issues affecting women and the community.

Her statements underscore the intersection of gender and politics, as she addresses significant social issues that women face.
