âIn this part of the world when youâre this vocal, they think that youâre not wife material. So, if youâre a woman who is hoping to get married one day or who is aspiring to be maybe a politician, or any other figure, then you donât need to say these things on air or expose yourself like this because youâll be blacklisted,â Vicky explained.
The actressâs remarks came in the context of discussing why some women in showbiz choose to remain silent about instances of sexual abuse perpetrated by their male counterparts.
Vicky pointed out the challenges faced by victims when they speak out, including accusations of bitterness and interference with the lives of those accused.

âWhen you name and shame, they tell you, âYouâre messing up with people who are married. These are people who have moved on and are married, are in relationships, and you are naming them, and this is in the past; you should move on yourself and get a life,'â Zugah recounted.
She further highlighted the double standards faced by women, noting that they are criticized whether they speak out or remain silent. Zugah emphasized the need for societal change to address these issues and provide support for women who come forward with their experiences.
Zugahâs remarks on the challenges faced by vocal women in society shed light on the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the need for greater recognition of womenâs voices and experiences.
