Amina Mama

I am a Nigerian scholar and researcher committed to ending the oppression of women and transforming the prevailing unequal and unjust gender relations that see so many women abused and their lives wasted. My world view is informed by my heritage as a Nigerian born of mixed Nigerian and English parentage, raised in the multi-ethnic, multi-religious and northern Nigerian town of Kaduna, with a family home in the ancient town on Bida.
