Nigerian actress Nancy Isime is making headlines on social media after she kicked against using the term ‘women supporting women’ blindly.

The movie star had taken to her Instagram page on March 27, 2025, to write about how she wanted people to reflect on what feminism and gender equality truly mean.

According to her, gender equality is simply letting people be without bringing their gender into the discussion.

Further in the lengthy note, Nancy Isime added that most women like to say that other women do not support their gender. She asked which women they were supposed to help if many of them already believed that women supporting women was fake or didn’t exist.
