What does it mean to be a good Christian/Muslim woman? Gen-Z women navigating religion and feminism in Nigeria

This research seeks to understand the relationship between feminism and religion in Nigeria, by analysing various ways in which Gen-Z Nigerian women navigate their feminist and religious identities. Through conversations with 12 Gen-Z Nigerian women and engagement with literature, I examine the life experiences of these women in their quest to determine their identities in the Nigerian context. I focus largely on social media as the most dominant platform of expression for the Generation-Z, as digital natives. I make use of self-reflection for the most part of this study, as the research question was birth out of personal life experiences and questions. Narrative analysis and feminist methodologies are used, particularly to ensure that authentic stories/experiences of participants are properly utilized and to ensure matters of intersectionality and relativity were taken into consideration. With this study, I hope to elucidate the various debates around feminist and religious discourses. Also, I aim to shed light on the struggles of young women and encourage them to persist in their search for answers to the diverse unanswered questions they may have.
