During advocacy for language on sexual orientation and gender expression and identity at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo in 1994 and at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, women’s human rights and reproductive health activists teamed up with other groups from the globe to challenge all forms of discrimination and visibilise LGBTI rights and related issues within the UN. Back home in Nigeria, LGBTI rights were not a burning issue. They did not even featuring in the list of key issues of concern while analyzing the sexuality of adolescents. This does not mean that there were no LGBTI persons or groups in Nigeria. It also does not mean that there was recognition of LGBTI sexualities. Nigeria at the time was struggling to unseat the military totalitarian dictators and institute a democratic government.
