Divorce Is The New Black: Why Modern Marriage Is Under More Pressure Than Ever
By Daniel Agusi There was a time when divorce was rare enough to become neighbourhood gossip. If a couple separated, people talked about it for weeks. Families intervened. Religious leaders got involved. Friends tried to reconcile the couple. Divorce was not impossible, but it was unusual. Today, the opposite often feels true. Everywhere you look, […]
The Struggle of Healing
By Lulu They say time heals all wounds but nobody told time about the ones that bleed quietly, The ones that don’t make sound, The ones you press your hand against just to get through a Tuesday. I have not always been easy to love. I know this. I have been the storm when people […]
The Tiredness That Sleep Doesn’t Fix
By Ese Anita Ogaga There is a kind of tiredness sleep does not fix. Not because women are weak. Not because we are failing. But because many women are carrying entire systems silently in their minds every single day. The appointments. The groceries. The school reminders. The emotional needs of the children. The unpaid bills. […]
Endometriosis
When Period Pain Isn’t Normal By Ikupolusi Ariyike Menstrual pain is often dismissed as a normal part of being a woman, but what happens when the pain is so severe that it disrupts daily life, affects work, dama-ges relationships, or leaves you bedridden for days? “It’s just period pain.” For many women, these words have […]

Raising Women Magazine Issue 046 – June 2026
There is something deeply revealing about the way a society treats its children. Not just in policy or parenting, but in the stories it tells them, the spaces it creates for them, and the kind of world it quietly prepares them to inherit. In this Children’s Day edition, Raising Women Magazine turns its attention to childhood itself, not as a sentimental phase of life, but as the foundation upon which identity, confidence, memory, and humanity are built.
Our cover star, Ms. Rachel, represents a refreshing reminder that gentleness still matters in an age of noise. Through patience, intentionality, and emotional safety, she has transformed songs and screen time into a global classroom for millions of children and families.
Across this issue, we explore the emotional architecture of childhood, from the girls who learn too early to shrink themselves, to the children quietly carrying adult burdens before they fully understand their own. We also interrogate modern parenting, digital culture, family, safety, and the futures young people are already shaping.
Because childhood is never just preparation for life.
In many ways, it is life itself.

Digital Violence
By The Lulu All i wanted was to post one selfie with my new hair style, ring light on, small pout, and caption: “Feeling cute, might delete later.” But the comments came like stones. “Prostitute.” “Who paid for your wig?” “Show us more, or you’re just noise.” I laughed it off at first, turned the […]
The Friendship Gap: Why Many Adult Men Struggle to Maintain Close Friendships
By Daniel Agusi At some point between early adulthood and middle age, many men slowly lose their friends. There is usually no dramatic falling out. No major conflict. The change happens gradually. Weekly hangouts turn into occasional meetups. Long phone calls become short messages. Eventually, entire friendships exist only through birthday texts or social media […]
