A large group of women from across the 36 states of the federation on Thursday flocked to the major streets of Abuja in a peaceful protest, calling for equal rights, good governance and other demands.

Under the umbrella of Women 4 Women, the women dressed in different uniforms caused traffic obstructions in some busy roads in Abuja, putting additional stress to motorists and other workers making their way to their various workplaces.
