im ▁ 3 9 1 ). ▁The ▁found ers ▁of ▁the ▁SW U , ▁Al ▁A min ▁and ▁Ah med ▁Ab del ▁M age id ▁explained ▁that ▁due ▁to ▁pre jud ices ▁about ▁women ' s ▁participation ▁in ▁public ▁activities , ▁they ▁were ▁not ▁allowed ▁to ▁join ▁the ▁Gr adu ates ▁con gress ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 1 ). ▁The ▁union ▁was ▁seen ▁as ▁a ▁social ▁organization ▁that ▁was ▁concerned ▁with ▁women ▁in ▁the ▁domestic ▁sphere ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 1 ). ▁Progress ▁was ▁made ▁through ▁a ▁restricted ▁right ▁to ▁vote ▁under ▁the ▁pre ten se , ▁the ▁women ▁were ▁educated . ▁They ▁also ▁created ▁a ▁magazine ▁called ▁the ▁“ W omen ’ s ▁Vo ice ” ▁which ▁was ▁a ▁political ▁out let ▁encourag ement ▁of ▁dem ocracy ▁and ▁women ' s ▁rights ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 2 ). ▁Still , ▁women ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁SW U ▁denied ▁any ▁invol vement ▁with ▁The ▁Sud an ese ▁Commun ist ▁party , ▁regardless ▁of ▁their ▁political ▁activity ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 2 ). ▁The ▁S CP ▁was ▁the ▁first ▁to ▁allow ▁women ▁to ▁join , ▁attract ing ▁educated ▁women ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 2 ). ▁The ▁idea ▁of ▁political ▁membership ▁is ▁what ▁divided ▁the ▁SW U , ▁and ▁created ▁the ▁Patri otic ▁women ' s ▁front ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 2 ). ▁The ▁SW U ▁women ▁were ▁left ▁very ▁sus cept ible ▁to ▁imprison ment ▁and ▁har
ass ment ▁because ▁of ▁their ▁invol vement ▁in ▁politics ▁( Bad ri ▁ 9 ). ▁The ▁N imer i ▁regime , ▁even ▁covered ▁up ▁the ▁SW U ' s ▁effort ▁by ▁putting ▁out ▁their ▁success es ▁like ▁first ▁woman ▁minister ▁and ▁woman ▁jud ges . ▁Then ▁he ▁implemented ▁the ▁September ▁laws ▁that ▁made ▁women ▁inferior ▁to ▁men . ▁In ▁the ▁late ▁ 1 9 8 0 s , ▁women ' s ▁femin ist ▁movement ▁was ▁at ▁a ▁halt ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁military ▁government , ▁still ▁the ▁Women ' s ▁voice ▁continued ▁to ▁highlight ▁the ▁in just ices ▁of ▁the ▁regime ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 3 ). ▁ ▁The ▁Republican ▁Sister s ▁ <0x09> ▁This ▁women ' s ▁organization ▁was ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁Republican ▁party ▁of ▁brothers ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁battle ▁against ▁the ▁first ▁military ▁regime ▁in ▁Sud an ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 3 ). ▁They ▁were ▁supported ▁by ▁their ▁male ▁counter parts , ▁and ▁together ▁campaign ed ▁for ▁equal ▁rights . ▁The ▁brothers ▁were ▁a ▁huge ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁struggle ▁for ▁equality ▁and ▁supports ▁women ▁during ▁their ▁speech es ▁and ▁dist ribute ▁their ▁publications ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 5 ). ▁They ▁tra ve led ▁around ▁cities ▁and ▁held ▁campaign s ▁and ▁deb ates ▁to ▁question ▁att itudes ▁against ▁women ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 4 ). ▁Their ▁objective ▁was ▁to ▁spread ▁their ▁theories ▁and ▁encou rage ▁a ▁new ▁perspective ▁about ▁women ' s ▁rights . ▁The ▁Republican ▁women ▁faced ▁grave ▁in just
ices ▁by ▁the ▁security ▁b ureau ▁and ▁ultimately ▁ended ▁in ▁the ▁leader ' s ▁death ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 5 ). ▁Us at dh ▁Mah m oud ▁started ▁the ▁party ▁in ▁ 1 9 4 5 ▁and ▁started ▁to ▁public ize ▁his ▁book ▁The ▁Second ▁Message ▁of ▁Islam , ▁he ▁wrote ▁about ▁the ▁rules ▁of ▁Islam ▁and ▁the ▁implementation ▁of ▁equality ▁of ▁sex es ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 3 ). ▁U stad h ▁published ▁motiv ation ▁for ▁women ' s ▁rights ▁through ▁lect ures , ▁discuss ions , ▁and ▁pushing ▁women ▁to ▁be ▁part ▁of ▁intellectual ▁spaces ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 5 ). ▁ ▁Go als ▁of ▁the ▁Sud an ese ▁Fem in ist ▁Gr oups ▁ ▁Women ▁groups ▁were ▁seen ▁as ▁a ▁method ▁of ▁western izing ▁Muslim ▁life ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 5 ). ▁Women ▁in ▁the ▁Union ▁fought ▁hard ▁for ▁equal ▁pay ▁p ension ▁and ▁the ▁access ibility ▁to ▁work ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 5 ). ▁They ▁argued ▁it ▁was ▁the ▁trad itions ▁in ▁place ▁that ▁restricted ▁women ' s ▁rights ▁and ▁wanted ▁to ▁separate ▁religion ▁and ▁traditional ▁practices ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 6 ). ▁The ▁main ▁dem ands ▁of ▁the ▁SW U ▁were ▁the ▁em an cip ation ▁of ▁women , ▁higher ▁status ▁through ▁education , ▁night - sch ools ▁to ▁teach ▁liter acy , ▁equal ▁pay , ▁and ▁fighting ▁against ▁traditional ist ▁practices . ▁The ▁Republican ▁Sister s ▁believed ▁equality ▁was
▁a ▁part ▁of ▁religion ▁that ▁was ▁a ▁natural ▁right ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 6 ). ▁They ▁took ▁their ▁goals ▁further ▁and ▁also ▁fought ▁against ▁laws ▁that ▁opp ress ed ▁women . ▁The ▁women ' s ▁union ▁work ▁was ▁focused ▁on ▁creating ▁change ▁through ▁politics ▁and ▁Republic ation ▁st riv ed ▁for ▁legal ▁action ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 6 ). ▁ ▁Iss ues ▁and ▁Fem in ist ▁A ctions ▁in ▁Response : ▁ ▁Mar riage ▁& ▁Div or ce ▁ ▁Origin ally , ▁women ▁did ▁not ▁have ▁some ▁control ▁over ▁who ▁got ▁married ▁and ▁it ▁was ▁a ▁contract ▁between ▁the ▁father ▁and ▁husband . ▁This ▁caused ▁many ▁women ▁to ▁be ▁in ▁forced ▁mar ri ages , ▁the ▁Women ' s ▁union ▁made ▁it ▁aware ▁of ▁people ▁the ▁over wh el ming ▁number ▁of ▁suic ides ▁caused ▁by ▁this ▁and ▁consent ▁was ▁enfor ced ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 8 ). ▁Dow ry ▁is ▁central ▁to ▁marriage , ▁yet ▁many ▁men ▁could ▁not ▁afford ▁to ▁pay ▁them , ▁so ▁the ▁Women ' s ▁Union ▁and ▁they ▁campaign ed ▁for ▁a ▁lower ▁amount ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 9 ). ▁Their ▁main ▁concern ▁was ▁to ▁make ▁sure ▁women ▁would ▁marry ▁who ▁they ▁wanted ▁to ▁marry ▁without ▁the ▁expensive ▁dow ries ▁( H al im ▁ 3 9 9 ). ▁They ▁also ▁published ▁less ▁sp ending , ▁education ▁for ▁girls , ▁and ▁the ▁re inst at ement ▁of ▁marriage ▁as ▁a ▁peace ful ▁agreement ▁( H al
im ▁ 3 9 9 ). ▁Many ▁women ▁were ▁subject ed ▁to ▁the ▁d angers ▁of ▁ab us ive ▁hus b ands ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁law ▁that ▁women ▁had ▁to ▁be ▁returned ▁by ▁police ▁if ▁dis ob ed ient ▁and ▁ran ▁away ▁( H al im ▁ 4 0 0 ). ▁The ▁Women ' s ▁Union ▁made ▁sure ▁that ▁the ▁idea ▁of ▁forcing ▁a ▁return ▁on ▁a ▁women ▁was ▁repe aled ▁( H al im ▁ 4 0 0 ). ▁ <0x09> The ▁Republican ▁Sister s ▁took ▁a ▁different ▁path way ▁by ▁res h aping ▁the ▁perspective ▁on ▁women ▁about ▁respect ▁and ▁gender ▁roles . ▁They ▁released ▁the ▁book ▁called ▁F ocus ▁on ▁Personal ▁Status ▁law , ▁it ▁talked ▁about ▁creating ▁change ▁from ▁Sh ar ’ ia ▁laws ▁( H al im ▁ 4 0 1 ). ▁They ▁supported ▁a ▁return ▁to ▁simple ▁and ▁in exp ensive ▁wed d ings ▁and ▁a ▁focus ▁on ▁no ▁guard ians hip ▁in ▁marriage . ▁They ▁also ▁re impl anted ▁the ▁basic ▁right ▁to ▁divor ce ▁women ▁and ▁handling ▁divor ces ▁outside ▁of ▁court ▁( H al im ▁ 4 0 2 ). ▁Last , ▁they ▁campaign ed ▁for ▁the ▁dedu ction ▁of ▁dow ry ▁to ▁be ▁put ▁into ▁value ▁as ▁dign ity ▁for ▁women ▁( H al im ▁ 4 0 2 ). ▁ ▁Pres ent ▁Activ ism ▁ ▁Pro tests ▁ ▁Currently ▁in ▁Sud an , ▁Sud an ese ▁women ▁are ▁unit ing ▁to ▁protest ▁against ▁the ▁Sud an ▁government ▁in ▁hopes ▁of ▁ach ieving
▁justice ▁and ▁equality ▁for ▁women ▁( S ar ai ). ▁There ▁are ▁large ▁groups ▁of ▁protest ▁that ▁have ▁taken ▁place ▁in ▁the ▁streets ▁of ▁Sud an ▁where ▁women ▁are ▁chant ing ▁and ▁holding ▁up ▁signs ▁demand ing ▁for ▁a ▁new ▁government . ▁The ▁protest ing ▁women ▁are ▁fighting ▁for ▁a ▁ 5 0 % ▁representation ▁of ▁women ▁in ▁the ▁government . ▁However , ▁currently ▁the ▁qu ota ▁rate ▁is ▁ 3 0 %, ▁which ▁shows ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁female ▁representation ▁in ▁the ▁government , ▁resulting ▁in ▁a ▁large ▁to ll ▁on ▁the ▁lives ▁of ▁the ▁Sud an ese ▁women . ▁Although ▁the ▁Sud an ese ▁women ▁are ▁fighting ▁to ▁create ▁change , ▁the ▁protest s ▁have ▁brought ▁great ▁danger ▁to ▁the ▁safety ▁of ▁women ▁( B hal la ). ▁The ▁government ' s ▁response ▁to ▁the ▁protest s ▁have ▁been ▁several ▁cases ▁of ▁ra pe ▁on ▁the ▁protest ing ▁women ▁that ▁were ▁committed ▁by ▁security ▁forces ▁( B hal la ). ▁However , ▁there ▁has ▁not ▁been ▁justice ▁done ▁for ▁the ▁cases , ▁which ▁has ▁further ▁driven ▁the ▁Sud an ese ▁women ▁to ▁protest ▁and ▁fight ▁for ▁their ▁rights . ▁Even ▁with ▁the ▁d angers ▁the ▁protest s ▁bring ▁on ▁the ▁women , ▁the ▁women ▁continue ▁to ▁st rive ▁and ▁fight ▁for ▁an ▁equal ▁representation ▁of ▁women ▁in ▁the ▁Sud an ▁government ▁and ▁to ▁achieve ▁equal ▁rights ▁and ▁justice ▁( B hal la ). ▁ ▁Facebook ▁Gr oups ▁In ▁addition ▁to ▁protest s , ▁Sud an ese ▁women ▁have ▁made ▁private ▁Facebook ▁groups
▁to ▁find ▁police ▁officers ▁who ▁are ▁act ively ▁pun ishing ▁the ▁women ▁in ▁the ▁protest s ▁( Gr iff in ). ▁Their ▁goal ▁is ▁to ▁public ly ▁expose ▁the ▁police ▁officers ▁in ▁order ▁for ▁people ▁to ▁find ▁the ▁officer ' s ▁home ▁and ▁phys ically ▁attack ▁them . ▁Only ▁women ▁are ▁allowed ▁in ▁the ▁groups , ▁in ▁which ▁they ▁upload ▁pictures ▁of ▁the ▁officers ▁and ▁people ▁can ▁respond ▁with ▁his ▁information ▁so ▁that ▁people ▁can ▁locate ▁him . ▁The ▁Facebook ▁groups ▁have ▁pos ed ▁such ▁a ▁threat ▁to ▁the ▁officers , ▁that ▁it ▁has ▁made ▁it ▁difficult ▁for ▁them ▁to ▁show ▁their ▁faces ▁in ▁public ▁without ▁covering ▁them ▁( Gr iff in ) ▁. ▁It ▁is ▁evident ▁that ▁the ▁groups ▁have ▁given ▁the ▁Sud an ese ▁women ▁a ▁form ▁of ▁power ▁over ▁the ▁government ▁and ▁have ▁become ▁cru cial ▁in ▁their ▁attempts ▁to ▁push ▁for ▁women ▁representation ▁in ▁the ▁government . ▁ ▁S over eign ▁Council ▁ <0x09> In ▁attempts ▁to ▁female ▁representation ▁in ▁Sud an ' s ▁government , ▁on ▁August ▁ 2 1 , ▁ 2 0 1 9 , ▁there ▁was ▁a ▁solemn ▁ceremony ▁that ▁took ▁place ▁in ▁Kh art ou m , ▁Sud an ▁where ▁ 1 1 ▁people ▁were ▁sw orn ▁in ▁to ▁lead ▁the ▁country ▁( Sol omon ). ▁The ▁ 1 1 ▁people ▁sw orn ▁in ▁were ▁a ▁part ▁of ▁a ▁group ▁named ▁the ▁so ver eign ▁council , ▁in ▁which ▁two ▁of ▁them ▁were ▁women . ▁This ▁is ▁significant ▁in ▁bringing ▁more ▁female ▁representation ▁in
▁the ▁government , ▁which ▁will ▁allow ▁for ▁more ▁rights ▁given ▁to ▁the ▁women ▁and ▁an ▁opportunity ▁for ▁the ▁women ▁to ▁voice ▁their ▁opinions ▁more ▁freely . ▁R aja ▁Nicola ▁Iss a ▁Abd ul - M asse h , ▁a ▁female ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁so ver eign ▁council , ▁states , ▁“ We ▁shall ▁try ▁to ▁re build ▁our ▁country , ▁we ▁shall ▁try ▁to ▁re build ▁our ▁economy , ▁we ▁shall ▁begin ▁to ▁stop ▁all ▁the ▁armed ▁movements ▁and ▁work ▁for ▁peace ▁and ▁justice ▁for ▁all ▁Sud an ese ▁on ▁an ▁equal ▁basis ▁regardless ▁of ▁race ▁or ▁religion ▁or ▁any ▁political ▁opinion ▁or ▁any ▁affili ation ” ▁( Sol omon ). ▁The ▁two ▁female ▁members ▁in ▁the ▁so ver eign ▁council ▁are ▁st riv ing ▁to ▁bring ▁more ▁equality ▁and ▁justice ▁for ▁women ▁in ▁Sud an . ▁ ▁Prom inent ▁Niger ian ▁femin ists ▁ ▁Ol uf un mil ay o ▁R ans ome - K uti ▁( 1 9 0 0 ▁- ▁ 1 9 7 8 ) ▁▁ ▁Ser ving ▁as ▁a ▁teacher , ▁an ▁education ist , ▁and ▁a ▁women ' s ▁rights ▁activ ist , ▁Frances ▁Ab ig ail ▁Ol uf un mil ay o ▁R ans ome - K uti ▁is ▁widely ▁well ▁known ▁as ▁one ▁of ▁Niger ia ' s ▁earliest ▁and ▁for em ost ▁champions ▁of ▁women ' s ▁rights ▁during ▁the ▁colonial ▁period . ▁At ▁a ▁time ▁where ▁most ▁girls ▁were ▁not ▁granted ▁access ▁to ▁Western ▁education , ▁Ol uf un mil ay o ▁had
▁the ▁distinction ▁of ▁being ▁the ▁first ▁female ▁student ▁of ▁St . ▁John ▁Primary ▁School , ▁A be ok uta , ▁from ▁ 1 9 0 6 ▁to ▁ 1 9 1 3 . ▁Being ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁set ▁of ▁girls ▁to ▁attend ▁school ▁in ▁Niger ia , ▁Ol uf un mil ay o ▁was ▁then ▁sent ▁to ▁study ▁abroad ▁in ▁England ▁to ▁finish ▁her ▁higher ▁education ▁at ▁Win ch am ▁Hall ▁College ▁in ▁York shire . ▁She ▁studied ▁Music , ▁Education , ▁Dom estic ▁Science ▁and ▁French , ▁where ▁in ▁ 1 9 2 3 , ▁she ▁returned ▁to ▁Niger ia ▁fully ▁equ ipped ▁for ▁a ▁teaching ▁career . ▁ ▁Although ▁she ▁participated ▁in ▁numerous ▁domestic ▁improvements ▁in ▁Niger ia , ▁Ol uf un mil ay o ▁manif ested ▁remarkable ▁contributions ▁to ▁the ▁African ▁women ' s ▁movement ▁that ▁cred ited ▁her ▁the ▁most ▁fame . ▁In ▁ 1 9 4 4 , ▁Ol uf un mil ay o , ▁along ▁with ▁a ▁few ▁pe ers , ▁founded ▁the ▁A be ok uta ▁Lad ies ▁Club ▁( AL C ), ▁essentially ▁“ des igned ▁as ▁a ▁social ▁club ▁made ▁up ▁of ▁educated ▁women ▁like ▁her ▁who ▁felt ▁comp elled ▁to ▁help ▁other ▁less ▁privile ged ▁women .” ▁In ▁this ▁club , ▁these ▁women ▁would ▁learn ▁some ▁voc ational ▁skills , ▁where ▁the ▁A LC ▁would ▁encou rage ▁them ▁to ▁read ▁and ▁write . ▁With ▁other ▁femin ist ▁organizations ▁gradually ▁mer ging ▁with ▁the ▁A be ok uta ▁Women ' s ▁Union ▁(

▁A be ok uta ▁town . ▁ ▁Lady ▁K of ow or ola ▁A ina ▁A dem ola ▁( 1 9 1 3 ▁- ▁ 2 0 0 2 ) ▁ ▁An ▁active ▁volunte er ▁and ▁ener get ic ▁social ▁worker , ▁Lady ▁K of ow or ola ▁A ina ▁A dem ola ▁has ▁not ably ▁been ▁recognized ▁as ▁a ▁distinguished ▁women ' s ▁rights ▁activ ist ▁and ▁remarkable ▁education ist . ▁Com ing ▁from ▁a ▁rather ▁privile ged ▁background , ▁Lady ▁K of ow or ola ▁tra ve led ▁to ▁England ▁and ▁completed ▁her ▁secondary ▁school ▁education ▁at ▁Port way ▁College . ▁So on ▁after , ▁she ▁was ▁granted ▁ad mission ▁to ▁University ▁of ▁Oxford , ▁where ▁she ▁graduated ▁with ▁a ▁b ach elor ' s ▁degree ▁in ▁English . ▁Lady ▁K of ow or ola ▁has ▁the ▁honor ▁of ▁being ▁the ▁first ▁African ▁woman ▁to ▁be ▁admitted ▁to ▁the ▁University ▁of ▁Oxford , ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 3 . ▁ ▁The ▁most ▁educated , ▁el ite ▁women ▁coming ▁from ▁Lag os ▁were ▁members ▁of ▁prominent ▁Christian ▁families ▁of ▁nin ete enth ▁and ▁tw enti eth - century ▁Niger ia . ▁Niger ian ▁pione ers ▁like ▁Charlotte ▁O la j um oke ▁Ob asa , ▁O y ink an ▁Ab ay omi , ▁and ▁K of ow or ola ▁A dem ola , ▁among ▁others , ▁completed ▁a ▁Western ▁education ▁in ▁an ▁array ▁of ▁subjects ▁r anging ▁from ▁music , ▁law , ▁social ▁science , ▁to ▁education , ▁n urs ing
▁and ▁journal ism ▁in ▁both ▁Niger ia ▁and ▁abroad . ▁Collect ively , ▁these ▁women ▁broke ▁notable ▁bar riers ▁and ▁certain ▁tab o os ▁that ▁were ▁social ▁norm s ▁within ▁the ▁Victor ian ▁and ▁post - V ict or ian ▁era . ▁ ▁With ▁a ▁Western ▁education ▁from ▁Oxford , ▁Lady ▁K of ow or ola ▁returned ▁to ▁Niger ia ▁and ▁briefly ▁taught ▁at ▁Queen ' s ▁College , ▁Lag os . ▁As ▁a ▁teacher , ▁K of ow or ola ▁encourag ed ▁many ▁of ▁the ▁girls ▁to ▁work ▁hard ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁become ▁ach ie vers ; ▁her ▁famous ▁s log an ▁was ▁“ brains ▁have ▁no ▁gender ”. ▁With ▁her ▁passion ▁towards ▁girls ’ ▁education , ▁Lady ▁K of ow or ola ▁encourag ed ▁her ▁communities ▁to ▁establish ▁non - g overn ment al ▁organizations ▁that ▁stim ulate ▁the ▁education ▁of ▁women . ▁With ▁grad ual ▁pace , ▁she ▁became ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁found ing ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁Niger ian ▁Association ▁of ▁University ▁Women , ▁whose ▁sole ▁aim ▁was ▁the ▁ult imate ▁encourag ement ▁of ▁girls ’ ▁education ▁in ▁Niger ia . ▁ ▁In ▁order ▁to ▁increase ▁the ▁rather ▁limited ▁opportun ities ▁for ▁Niger ian ▁girls ▁in ▁secondary ▁education , ▁Lady ▁K of ow or ola ▁was ▁heavily ▁involved ▁in ▁found ing ▁new ▁secondary ▁schools ▁for ▁girls . ▁An ▁example ▁could ▁be ▁the ▁New ▁Era ▁Girls ’ ▁College , ▁a ▁secondary ▁school ▁where ▁she ▁served ▁as ▁the ▁Head m ist ress . ▁Lady ▁K of ow or ola ▁was ▁a ▁prominent
▁volunte er ▁for ▁the ▁Red ▁Cross ▁Society ▁where ▁she ▁served ▁as ▁the ▁first ▁Niger ian ▁Director ▁of ▁the ▁Western ▁Region ▁branch . ▁In ▁recognition ▁of ▁her ▁contribution ▁in ▁several ▁respect ed ▁fields , ▁Lady ▁K of ow or ola ▁was ▁best owed ▁with ▁many ▁hon ors . ▁In ▁ 1 9 5 9 , ▁she ▁became ▁a ▁Member ▁of ▁the ▁British ▁Empire ▁( MB E ), ▁where ▁she ▁was ▁later ▁granted , ▁Officer ▁of ▁the ▁Federal ▁Republic ▁of ▁Niger ia ▁( OF R ). ▁ ▁Ro le ▁of ▁men ▁in ▁African ▁femin ism ▁ ▁The ▁goal ▁of ▁femin ism ▁is ▁to ▁emp ower ▁women ▁so ▁as ▁to ▁ensure ▁equality ▁to ▁men . ▁For ▁some ▁people , ▁the ▁term ▁femin ism ▁incorrectly ▁came ▁to ▁mean ▁a ▁movement ▁that ▁was ▁anti - male , ▁anti - c ulture ▁and ▁anti - rel ig ion . ▁For ▁purposes ▁of ▁inclusion , ▁some ▁women ▁prefer ▁to ▁eng age ▁themselves ▁in ▁gender ▁theory ▁and ▁activ ism ▁by ▁including ▁men ▁into ▁the ▁discussion ▁because ▁it ▁prom otes ▁the ▁idea ▁that ▁femin ism ▁is ▁about ▁equality ▁among ▁all ▁g enders ▁and ▁it ▁is ▁important ▁to ▁note ▁that ▁they ▁also ▁face ▁hard ships ▁as ▁males . ▁Because ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁policy - m akers ▁in ▁many ▁African ▁countries ▁are ▁men , ▁some ▁believe ▁that ▁inclus ivity ▁is ▁important ▁if ▁women ▁are ▁to ▁gain ▁ground ▁in ▁policy ▁changes ▁that ▁impact ▁them . ▁The ▁importance ▁that ▁many ▁women ▁place ▁on ▁commun al ism ▁and ▁family ▁results ▁in ▁their ▁desire ▁to ▁work ▁with ▁men
▁to ▁develop ▁an ▁inclus ive ▁approach ▁to ▁solving ▁gender ▁issues . ▁In ▁order ▁to ▁er ad icate ▁the ▁opp ression ▁women ▁face ▁because ▁of ▁their ▁gender , ▁working ▁with ▁men ▁has ▁become ▁a ▁necessity . ▁The ▁role ▁of ▁African ▁men ▁in ▁femin ism ▁is ▁nu anced ▁and ▁depends ▁on ▁location , ▁environment , ▁and ▁personal ▁ide ology . ▁ ▁Notable ▁African ▁femin ist ▁critics ▁▁ ▁Mol ara ▁Og und ipe ▁▁ ▁Na omi ▁N ke al ah ▁▁ ▁Ak achi ▁E ze ig bo ▁▁ ▁Catherine ▁Ach ol on u ▁▁ ▁Mary ▁Mod u pe ▁K ola wo le ▁▁ ▁Ch ik wen ye ▁Ok on jo ▁Og un y emi ▁▁ ▁Ob i oma ▁N na eme ka ▁▁ ▁Am ede ▁Ob ior a ▁ ▁Ch im am anda ▁N go zi ▁Ad ich ie ▁ ▁Syl via ▁Tam ale ▁ ▁Jos ina ▁Mach el ▁ ▁Fun mil ay o ▁R ans ome - K uti ▁ ▁References ▁ ▁* <0x0A> </s> ▁The ▁Christian ization ▁of ▁Poland ▁() ▁refers ▁to ▁the ▁introduction ▁and ▁subsequent ▁spread ▁of ▁Christian ity ▁in ▁Poland . ▁The ▁imp et us ▁to ▁the ▁process ▁was ▁the ▁Bapt ism ▁of ▁Poland ▁( ), ▁the ▁personal ▁bapt ism ▁of ▁M iesz ko ▁I , ▁the ▁first ▁r uler ▁of ▁the ▁future ▁Polish ▁state , ▁and ▁much ▁of ▁his ▁court . ▁The ▁ceremony ▁took ▁place ▁on ▁the ▁Holy ▁Saturday ▁of ▁ 1 4 ▁April ▁ 9 6 6 , ▁although ▁the ▁exact ▁location ▁is ▁still ▁disput ed ▁by ▁histor ians ,
▁with ▁the ▁cities ▁of ▁Poz na ń ▁and ▁G nie z no ▁being ▁the ▁most ▁likely ▁sites . ▁M iesz ko ' s ▁wife , ▁Dob raw a ▁of ▁Boh emia , ▁is ▁often ▁cred ited ▁as ▁a ▁major ▁influence ▁on ▁M iesz ko ' s ▁decision ▁to ▁accept ▁Christian ity . ▁ ▁While ▁the ▁spread ▁of ▁Christian ity ▁in ▁Poland ▁took ▁centuries ▁to ▁finish , ▁the ▁process ▁was ▁ultimately ▁successful , ▁as ▁within ▁several ▁dec ades ▁Poland ▁joined ▁the ▁rank ▁of ▁established ▁European ▁states ▁recogn ised ▁by ▁the ▁pap acy ▁and ▁the ▁Holy ▁Roman ▁Empire . ▁According ▁to ▁histor ians , ▁the ▁bapt ism ▁of ▁Poland ▁marks ▁the ▁beginning ▁of ▁Polish ▁state hood . ▁Nevertheless , ▁the ▁Christian ization ▁was ▁a ▁long ▁and ▁ar du ous ▁process , ▁as ▁most ▁of ▁the ▁Polish ▁population ▁remained ▁pag an ▁until ▁the ▁pag an ▁reaction ▁during ▁the ▁ 1 0 3 0 s . ▁ ▁Background ▁ ▁Before ▁the ▁ad option ▁of ▁Christian ity ▁in ▁modern - day ▁Poland , ▁there ▁were ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁different ▁pag an ▁tribes . ▁S vet ov id ▁was ▁among ▁the ▁most ▁w ides p read ▁pag an ▁gods ▁worship ed ▁in ▁Poland . ▁Christian ity ▁arrived ▁around ▁the ▁late ▁ 9 th ▁century , ▁most ▁likely ▁around ▁the ▁time ▁when ▁the ▁V ist ul an ▁tribe ▁encountered ▁the ▁Christian ▁r ite ▁in ▁deal ings ▁with ▁their ▁neighb ors , ▁the ▁Great ▁Mor avia ▁( B oh em ian ) ▁state . ▁ ▁The ▁Mor av ian ▁cultural ▁influence
▁played ▁a ▁significant ▁role ▁in ▁the ▁spread ▁of ▁Christian ity ▁onto ▁the ▁Polish ▁lands ▁and ▁the ▁subsequent ▁ad option ▁of ▁that ▁religion . ▁In ▁the ▁opinion ▁of ▁Dav ies , ▁the ▁Christian ization ▁of ▁Poland ▁through ▁the ▁Czech – Pol ish ▁al liance ▁represented ▁a ▁conscious ▁choice ▁on ▁the ▁part ▁of ▁Polish ▁r ul ers ▁to ▁al ly ▁themselves ▁with ▁the ▁Czech ▁state ▁rather ▁than ▁the ▁German ▁one . ▁In ▁a ▁similar ▁fashion , ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁later ▁political ▁strugg les ▁involved ▁the ▁Polish ▁Church ▁ref using ▁to ▁sub ordinate ▁itself ▁to ▁the ▁German ▁hierarchy ▁and ▁instead ▁being ▁directly ▁sub ordinate ▁to ▁the ▁V at ican . ▁ ▁Bapt ism ▁ ▁The ▁" B apt ism ▁of ▁Poland " ▁refers ▁to ▁the ▁ceremony ▁when ▁the ▁first ▁r uler ▁of ▁the ▁Polish ▁state , ▁M iesz ko ▁I ▁and ▁much ▁of ▁his ▁court , ▁converted ▁to ▁the ▁Christian ▁religion . ▁M iesz ko ' s ▁wife ▁Dob raw a ▁of ▁Boh emia , ▁a ▁ze alous ▁Christian , ▁played ▁a ▁significant ▁role ▁in ▁prom oting ▁Christian ity ▁in ▁Poland , ▁and ▁might ▁have ▁had ▁significant ▁influence ▁on ▁converting ▁M iesz ko ▁himself . ▁ ▁The ▁exact ▁place ▁of ▁M iesz ko ' s ▁bapt ism ▁is ▁disput ed ; ▁Most ▁histor ians ▁argue ▁that ▁G nie z no ▁or ▁Poz na ń ▁are ▁the ▁most ▁likely ▁sites . ▁However , ▁other ▁histor ians ▁have ▁suggested ▁alternative ▁locations , ▁such ▁as ▁O str ów ▁Led nick i , ▁or ▁even ▁in ▁German ▁Reg ens burg

▁at ▁first ▁the ▁Christian ▁religion ▁was ▁" un pop ular ▁and ▁al ien ", ▁M iesz ko ' s ▁bapt ism ▁was ▁highly ▁influ ential ▁but ▁needed ▁to ▁be ▁enfor ced ▁by ▁the ▁state , ▁and ▁ran ▁into ▁some ▁popular ▁opposition , ▁including ▁an ▁u pr ising ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 0 3 0 s ▁( part icular ly ▁inten se ▁in ▁the ▁years ▁of ▁ 1 0 3 5 – 1 0 3 7 ). ▁Non eth eless , ▁by ▁that ▁time ▁Poland ▁had ▁won ▁recognition ▁as ▁a ▁proper ▁European ▁state , ▁both ▁from ▁the ▁pap acy ▁and ▁from ▁the ▁Holy ▁Roman ▁Empire . ▁ ▁Out ▁of ▁various ▁provinces ▁of ▁today ' s ▁Poland , ▁Christian ity ' s ▁spread ▁was ▁slow est ▁in ▁P omer ania , ▁where ▁it ▁gained ▁a ▁significant ▁following ▁only ▁around ▁the ▁ 1 2 th ▁century . ▁Initial ly , ▁the ▁cler gy ▁came ▁from ▁the ▁Western ▁Christian ▁European ▁countries ; ▁native ▁Polish ▁cler gy ▁took ▁three ▁or ▁four ▁gener ations ▁to ▁emer ge , ▁and ▁were ▁supported ▁by ▁the ▁monaster ies ▁and ▁fri ars ▁that ▁grew ▁increasing ly ▁common ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 2 th ▁century . ▁By ▁the ▁ 1 3 th ▁century ▁Roman ▁Catholic ism ▁had ▁become ▁the ▁dominant ▁religion ▁throughout ▁Poland . ▁ ▁In ▁adopt ing ▁Christian ity ▁as ▁the ▁state ▁religion , ▁M iesz ko ▁sought ▁to ▁achieve ▁several ▁personal ▁goals . ▁He ▁saw ▁Poland ' s ▁bapt ism ▁as ▁a ▁way ▁of ▁strength ening ▁his ▁hold ▁on ▁power , ▁as
▁well ▁as ▁using ▁it ▁as ▁a ▁un ifying ▁force ▁for ▁the ▁Polish ▁people . ▁It ▁replaced ▁several ▁smaller ▁cult s ▁with ▁a ▁single , ▁central ▁one , ▁clearly ▁associated ▁with ▁the ▁royal ▁court . ▁It ▁would ▁also ▁improve ▁the ▁position ▁and ▁respect ability ▁of ▁the ▁Polish ▁state ▁on ▁the ▁international , ▁European ▁scene . ▁The ▁Church ▁also ▁helped ▁to ▁strength en ▁the ▁monarch ' s ▁authority , ▁and ▁brought ▁to ▁Poland ▁much ▁experience ▁with ▁regard ▁to ▁state ▁administration . ▁Thus , ▁the ▁Church ▁organisation ▁supported ▁the ▁state , ▁and ▁in ▁return , ▁b ish ops ▁received ▁important ▁government ▁titles ▁( in ▁the ▁later ▁era , ▁they ▁were ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁Senate ▁of ▁Poland ). ▁ ▁Mill enn ial ▁celebr ations ▁of ▁ 1 9 6 6 ▁ ▁The ▁prepar ations ▁for ▁the ▁mill enn ial ▁celebr ations ▁begun ▁with ▁the ▁Great ▁Nov ena ▁of ▁ 1 9 5 7 , ▁which ▁marked ▁a ▁nine ▁years ▁period ▁of ▁fast ▁and ▁prayer . ▁In ▁ 1 9 6 6 , ▁the ▁People ' s ▁Republic ▁of ▁Poland ▁witness ed ▁large ▁festiv ities ▁on ▁the ▁ 1 , 0 0 0 - year ▁anni versary ▁of ▁those ▁events , ▁with ▁the ▁Church ▁celebr ating ▁the ▁ 1 , 0 0 0 ▁years ▁of ▁Christian ity ▁in ▁Poland , ▁while ▁the ▁Commun ist ▁government ▁celebrated ▁the ▁sec ular ▁ 1 , 0 0 0 ▁years ▁of ▁the ▁Polish ▁State , ▁cul min ated ▁in ▁twice ▁den ying ▁Pope ▁Paul ▁VI ▁permission ▁to ▁visit ▁Poland ▁that ▁year .
▁The ▁desire ▁of ▁the ▁Commun ist ▁party ▁to ▁separate ▁religion ▁from ▁the ▁state ▁made ▁the ▁festiv ities ▁a ▁culture ▁cl ash ▁between ▁the ▁state ▁and ▁the ▁Church . ▁While ▁the ▁Church ▁was ▁foc using ▁on ▁the ▁religious , ▁ecc les iast ical ▁aspects ▁of ▁the ▁bapt ism , ▁with ▁s log ans ▁( in ▁Latin ) ▁like ▁Sac rum ▁Pol onia e ▁Mill enium ▁( Pol and ' s ▁Sac red ▁Mill en ni um ), ▁the ▁Commun ist ▁Party ▁was ▁fr aming ▁the ▁celebr ations ▁as ▁a ▁sec ular , ▁political ▁anni versary ▁of ▁the ▁creation ▁of ▁the ▁Polish ▁state , ▁with ▁s log ans ▁( in ▁Polish ) ▁like ▁T ys ią cle cie ▁Pa ńst wa ▁Pol skiego ▁( A ▁Th ous and ▁Years ▁of ▁the ▁Polish ▁State ). ▁As ▁Norman ▁Dav ies ▁noted , ▁both ▁the ▁Church ▁and ▁the ▁Party ▁had ▁" rival , ▁and ▁mut ually ▁exclusive , ▁interpret ations ▁of ▁[ Pol and ' s ▁bapt ism ] ▁significance ." ▁ ▁On ▁ 3 0 ▁July ▁ 1 9 6 6 , ▁the ▁U .

▁way . ▁She ▁also ▁constantly ▁anno ys ▁her ▁family ▁with ▁odd ▁obs essions ▁she ▁develop s ▁( collect or ' s ▁spo ons , ▁organ ic ▁food , ▁de formed ▁animals , ▁etc .), ▁to ▁the ▁point ▁of ▁being ▁ob liv ious ▁to ▁anything ▁else . ▁Usually ▁her ▁husband ▁and ▁sons ▁are ▁at ▁her ▁wr ath , ▁while ▁she ▁is ▁proud ▁of ▁their ▁achiev ements ▁and ▁they ▁care ▁about ▁each ▁other . ▁K yle ▁K elle y : ▁Vo iced ▁by ▁Ty ▁Ol sson . ▁K yle ▁is ▁Ian ' s ▁brother ▁and ▁the ▁oldest ▁of ▁the ▁family . ▁A ▁laid - back , ▁somewhat ▁dol t ish ▁te en ager , ▁K yle ▁is ▁not ▁stupid ▁so ▁much ▁as ▁lazy ; ▁he ▁knows ▁how ▁to ▁get ▁his ▁way ▁around ▁the ▁house , ▁and ▁sees ▁no ▁reason ▁to ▁put ▁any ▁real ▁effort ▁into ▁anything . ▁Un known ▁to ▁most , ▁he ▁is ▁actually ▁very ▁intellig ent ; ▁he ▁is ▁able ▁to ▁spell ▁highly ▁difficult ▁words ▁with ▁ease , ▁can ▁perform ▁complex ▁mathematical ▁equations ▁in ▁his ▁head , ▁and ▁can ▁memor ize ▁entire ▁science ▁text books . ▁The ▁only ▁thing ▁that ▁K yle ▁is ▁really ▁interested ▁in ▁is ▁the ▁opposite ▁sex ; ▁he ▁readily ▁will ▁take ▁ch ase ▁after ▁any ▁attract ive ▁female ▁that ▁catch es ▁his ▁eye , ▁but ▁his ▁purs uits ▁s eld om ▁lead ▁to ▁anything ▁other ▁than ▁re jection . ▁As ▁with ▁Kore y , ▁K yle ▁has ▁a ▁play fully ▁ant agon istic ▁relationship ▁with ▁the ▁well - be
hav ed ▁Ian ; ▁while ▁he ▁probably ▁car es ▁for ▁the ▁" do of us " ▁deep ▁down , ▁the ▁tempt ations ▁to ▁play ▁off ▁of ▁Ian ' s ▁g ul lib ility ▁and ▁sens itivity ▁are ▁too ▁much ▁for ▁him ▁to ▁resist ▁most ▁of ▁the ▁time . ▁Kore y ▁K elle y : ▁Vo iced ▁by ▁Matt ▁Hill . ▁Kore y ▁is ▁Ian ' s ▁brother ▁and ▁the ▁middle ▁child ▁of ▁the ▁three . ▁Kore y ▁is ▁a ▁rather ▁id ios ync r atic ▁individual ▁- ▁not ▁even ▁his ▁own ▁family ▁understand s ▁him ▁most ▁of ▁the ▁time . ▁Most ▁of ▁the ▁time ▁Kore y ▁seems ▁lost ▁in ▁his ▁own ▁world . ▁Despite ▁this , ▁Kore y ▁actually ▁has ▁a ▁sharp ▁mind ▁and ▁is ▁often ▁very ▁observ ant ▁- ▁it ▁seems ▁he ▁simply ▁cho oses ▁not ▁to ▁be ▁aware ▁of ▁his ▁surr ound ings ▁most ▁of ▁the ▁time . ▁C aught ▁in ▁the ▁middle ▁between ▁his ▁two ▁brothers , ▁as ▁being ▁the ▁middle ▁child ▁Kore y ▁comb ines ▁the ▁nic eness ▁and ▁sens it iveness ▁of ▁the ▁young est ▁child ▁and ▁the ▁la z iness ▁of ▁the ▁oldest ▁to ▁form ▁his ▁own ▁person ality . ▁Although ▁it ' s ▁not ▁shown ▁as ▁much , ▁Kore y ▁( s ometimes ▁open ly ) ▁shows ▁affection ▁and ▁kind ness ▁for ▁Ian ▁and ▁his ▁other ▁family ▁members ; ▁however , ▁this ▁is ▁over look ed ▁quite ▁a ▁lot ▁as ▁he ▁is ▁often ▁playing ▁pr anks ▁with ▁K yle ▁and ▁is ▁very ▁lazy ▁at ▁times .
▁A ▁running ▁g ag ▁is ▁that ▁Kore y ▁never ▁removes ▁his ▁cap , ▁even ▁when ▁he ▁sle eps . ▁Ch op in : ▁Vo iced ▁by ▁David ▁K aye . ▁Ch op in ▁is ▁the ▁K elle y ▁family ▁dog , ▁a ▁lap ▁dog ▁of ▁ind et erm inate ▁bre ed ▁who ▁is ▁missing ▁one ▁of ▁his ▁h ind ▁legs . ▁Ian ▁received ▁him ▁as ▁a ▁gift ▁when ▁he ▁was ▁young , ▁and ▁it ▁has ▁since ▁come ▁out ▁that ▁V icky , ▁who ▁car es ▁deeply ▁for ▁de formed ▁animals , ▁told ▁him ▁that ▁all ▁dogs ▁have ▁three ▁legs ▁at ▁the ▁time . ▁Ch op in ' s ▁role ▁is ▁mostly ▁limited ▁to ▁physical ▁comedy ▁- ▁an ▁often - used ▁g ag ▁is ▁the ▁fact ▁that ▁Ch op in ▁is ▁unable ▁to ▁stay ▁u pr ight ▁when ▁he ▁lif ts ▁a ▁leg ▁to ▁ur inate . ▁ ▁Fri ends ▁and ▁relatives ▁T yr one ▁" Ty " ▁Washington : ▁Vo iced ▁by ▁D ex ter ▁Bell . ▁T yr one ▁is ▁Ian ' s ▁best ▁friend ▁from ▁the ▁United ▁States . ▁Consider ably ▁more ▁together ▁than ▁Ian , ▁T yr one ▁often ▁attempts ▁to ▁act ▁as ▁the ▁voice ▁of ▁reason , ▁although ▁he ▁is ▁usually ▁willing ▁to ▁go ▁along ▁with ▁whatever ▁schemes ▁his ▁friend ▁cook s ▁up . ▁T yr one ▁is ▁usually ▁the ▁one ▁to ▁pull ▁Ian ▁back ▁to ▁reality ▁when ▁one ▁of ▁his ▁fant as ies ▁goes ▁too ▁far . ▁His ▁father ▁is ▁a ▁ 6 ' 8 " ▁African -

F . M . ▁( 1 5 0 2 – 1 5 7 1 ) ▁was ▁a ▁Francis can ▁mission ary ▁in ▁New ▁Spain , ▁and ▁the ▁first ▁Bishop ▁of ▁Y uc at án . ▁ ▁Biography ▁De ▁Tor al ▁was ▁ord ained ▁a ▁priest ▁in ▁the ▁Order ▁of ▁Fri ars ▁Minor . ▁On ▁November ▁ 1 9 , ▁ 1 5 6 1 , ▁Francisco ▁de ▁Tor al ▁was ▁appointed ▁by ▁Pope ▁P ius ▁IV ▁the ▁first ▁bishop ▁of ▁the ▁Dioc ese ▁of ▁Y uc at án ▁and ▁consec r ated ▁bishop ▁on ▁May ▁ 2 4 , ▁ 1 5 6 2 ▁by ▁San cho ▁Dí az ▁de ▁Tru j illo , ▁A ux ili ary ▁Bishop ▁of ▁Pl as encia , ▁with ▁Fernando ▁de ▁Vill ag ó mez , ▁Bishop ▁of ▁T lax cala , ▁and ▁Juan ▁de ▁V aca , ▁Bishop ▁of ▁Pan am á , ▁serving ▁as ▁co - con sec rat ors . ▁ ▁As
▁part ▁of ▁his ▁effort ▁to ▁Christian ize ▁the ▁Indians ▁of ▁New ▁Spain , ▁Tor al ▁learned ▁to ▁speak ▁the ▁N ahu at l ▁and ▁Pop ol oca ▁languages , ▁and ▁compiled ▁a ▁dictionary ▁and ▁grammar ▁of ▁the ▁latter . ▁He ▁also ▁charged ▁Bernard ino ▁de ▁Sah ag ún ▁with ▁the ▁creation ▁of ▁the ▁Historia ▁General ▁de ▁las ▁Cos as ▁de ▁Nueva ▁España . ▁In ▁Y uc at án ▁he ▁led ▁an ▁investigation ▁into ▁the ▁alleg ed ▁ab uses ▁of ▁the ▁May a ▁by ▁Diego ▁de ▁Land a , ▁employ ing ▁Gas par ▁Antonio ▁Chi ▁as ▁his ▁interpreter ; ▁Land a ▁would ▁eventually ▁be ▁acqu itted , ▁and ▁follow ▁Tor al ▁as ▁Bishop ▁of ▁Y uc at án . ▁He ▁claimed ▁that ▁cross es ▁were ▁being ▁burn ed , ▁and ▁human ▁sacrific es ▁were ▁made ▁in ▁church . ▁In ▁the ▁end , ▁May ans ▁were ▁considered ▁innoc ent , ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁proof . ▁Francisco ▁de ▁Tor al ▁requested ▁his ▁permission ▁be ▁terminated , ▁but ▁his ▁request ▁was ▁denied . ▁Following ▁this ▁den ial , ▁he ▁moved ▁to ▁Mexico ▁City ▁and ▁lived ▁there ▁until ▁his ▁death ▁on ▁April ▁ 2 0 , ▁ 1 5 7 1 . ▁ ▁Exper ien ces ▁in ▁Y uc at án ▁ ▁Before ▁Tor al ▁arrived ▁in ▁the ▁Y uc at án , ▁Land a ▁arrived ▁in ▁ 1 5 4 9 ▁and ▁ordered ▁the ▁destruction ▁of ▁more ▁than ▁ 2 0 , 0 0 0 ▁May an ▁artifact s ▁that ▁were ▁determined ▁to ▁be ▁cult
▁images ▁over ▁his ▁time ▁in ▁the ▁region . ▁In ▁addition ▁to ▁his ▁over see ing ▁of ▁these ▁artifact s ’ ▁destruction , ▁he ▁act ively ▁tort ured ▁May ans ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁produce ▁conf essions ▁of ▁id ol at ry . ▁May ans ▁that ▁conf essed ▁to ▁id ol ▁worship ▁faced ▁severe ▁pen alt ies , ▁r anging ▁from ▁f logging ▁to ▁ten ▁years ▁of ▁forced ▁labor ▁for ▁minor ▁off enses . ▁ ▁Tor al ▁arrived ▁in ▁ 1 5 6 2 ▁to ▁a ▁province ▁that ▁was ▁in ▁a ▁great ▁state ▁of ▁un rest . ▁There ▁was ▁a ▁large ▁controvers y ▁among ▁May ans ▁and ▁sec ular ▁government ▁officials ▁with ▁regards ▁to ▁Land a ’ s ▁treatment ▁of ▁alleg edly ▁id ol atr ous ▁Indians . ▁Tor al ▁was ▁shock ed ▁by ▁the ▁violent ▁behavior ▁of ▁the ▁Francis can ▁fri ars . ▁He ▁believed ▁that ▁the ▁cler gy ▁had ▁both ▁a ▁right ▁and ▁duty ▁to ▁phys ically ▁pun ish ▁May ans ▁resist ing ▁conversion , ▁but ▁Tor al ▁was ▁ske pt ical ▁that ▁the ▁conf essions ▁Land a ▁el ic ited ▁were ▁legit imate ▁and ▁the ▁resulting ▁pun ish ments ▁were ▁an ▁over re action ▁to ▁the ▁situation . ▁In ▁Tor al ’ s ▁eyes , ▁Land a ▁was ▁doing ▁work ▁outside ▁of ▁the ▁position ▁he ▁had ▁been ▁designated . ▁With ▁this ▁conflict ▁began ▁a ▁period ▁of ▁dist rust ▁between ▁Tor al ▁and ▁the ▁Francis c ans ▁of ▁the ▁Y uc at án . ▁ ▁In ▁response ▁to ▁these ▁events , ▁Tor al
▁forced ▁Land a ’ s ▁return ▁to ▁Spain ▁in ▁ 1 5 6 3 ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁answer ▁the ▁accus ations ▁that ▁were ▁being ▁drawn ▁against ▁him . ▁As ▁Tor al ▁began ▁to ▁exercise ▁his ▁authority , ▁he ▁fre ed ▁hundreds ▁of ▁May ans ▁that ▁Land a ▁had ▁imprison ed . ▁Under ▁his ▁super vision ▁only ▁the ▁most ▁extreme ▁cases ▁of ▁id ol at ry ▁were ▁investig ated , ▁and ▁even ▁those ▁resulted ▁in ▁fairly ▁light ▁sentences . ▁In ▁addition ▁to ▁this , ▁Tor al ▁began ▁to ▁co oper ate ▁more ▁with ▁local ▁sec ular ▁authorities ▁in ▁order ▁for ▁his ▁religious ▁order ▁to ▁be ▁as ▁effective ▁as ▁possible . ▁He ▁removed ▁Francis can ▁mission ary ▁cler gy ▁from ▁the ▁administration ▁of ▁ecc les iast ical ▁justice , ▁ur ging ▁his ▁sec ular ▁cler gy ▁to ▁use ▁ver bal ▁persu asion ▁to ▁draw ▁May ans ▁away ▁from ▁id ol at ry . ▁ ▁Tor al ’ s ▁dist rust ▁of ▁Francis c ans ▁and ▁his ▁in ability ▁to ▁control ▁the ▁fri ars ▁still ▁holding ▁authority ▁resulted ▁in ▁a ▁large ▁amount ▁of ▁t ension ▁between ▁himself , ▁the ▁Francis can ▁order , ▁and ▁local ▁government ▁authorities , ▁namely ▁Governor ▁Luis ▁de ▁Cés ped es ▁y ▁O v ied o . ▁Ch arg es ▁were ▁brought ▁against ▁him ▁by ▁Governor ▁Cés ped es ▁for ▁us ur ping ▁royal ▁juris diction ▁as ▁anim os ity ▁towards ▁him ▁as ▁a ▁religious ▁leader ▁began ▁to ▁grow . ▁Land a ▁was ▁eventually ▁absol ved ▁of ▁his ▁charges ▁in ▁ 1
5 6 9 . ▁Following ▁this ▁and ▁his ▁on going ▁d ile mm as ▁in ▁Y uc at án , ▁Tor al ▁requested ▁he ▁be ▁re located ▁to ▁serve ▁in ▁Mexico ▁City ▁before ▁ultimately ▁ab dic ating ▁his ▁position ▁in ▁ 1 5 7 0 ▁and ▁dying ▁in ▁Mexico . ▁ ▁References ▁ ▁External ▁links ▁and ▁additional ▁sources ▁ ▁( for ▁Chron ology ▁of ▁B ish ops ) ▁▁ ▁( for ▁Chron ology ▁of ▁B ish ops ) ▁▁ ▁Category : 1 5 0 2 ▁birth s ▁Category : 1 5 7 1 ▁death s ▁Category : M ex ican ▁Francis c ans ▁Category : 1 6 th - century ▁Roman ▁Catholic ▁b ish ops ▁Category : M ission ary ▁lingu ists ▁Category : B ish ops ▁appointed ▁by ▁Pope ▁P ius ▁IV ▁Category : Fran cis can ▁b ish ops <0x0A> </s> ▁Es mail abad ▁or ▁Es ma e el abad ▁() ▁may ▁refer ▁to : ▁ ▁Al bor z ▁Province ▁Es mail abad , ▁Al bor z ▁Es mail abad ▁Sh ur ▁Q ale h - ye ▁B ala , ▁Al bor z ▁Es mail abad ▁Sh ur ▁Q ale h - ye ▁P ain , ▁Al bor z ▁ ▁Ch ah arma hal ▁and ▁Bak ht i ari ▁Province ▁Es mail abad , ▁Ch ah arma hal ▁and ▁Bak ht i ari , ▁a ▁village ▁in ▁Ku hr ang ▁County ▁ ▁East ▁A zer ba ij an ▁Province ▁Es mail abad , ▁East ▁A zer ba ij an , ▁a

▁that ▁if ▁Emperor ▁Sh un z ong ▁was ▁not ▁accepting ▁t ributes , ▁neither ▁could ▁he . ▁ ▁In ▁ 8 0 6 , ▁Emperor ▁X ian z ong ▁created ▁Princess ▁Gu o ▁Gu ife i ▁( 貴 <0xE5> <0xA6> <0x83> ) ▁— ▁the ▁highest ▁rank ▁for ▁imperial ▁cons ort s ▁— ▁but ▁did ▁not ▁create ▁her ▁em press . ▁ ▁He ▁also ▁did ▁not ▁create ▁Li ▁You ▁crown ▁prince ; ▁rather , ▁he ▁only ▁created ▁Li ▁You ▁the ▁Prince ▁of ▁S ui , ▁instead ▁creating ▁Li ▁You ' s ▁older ▁brother ▁Li ▁N ing , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁his ▁conc ub ine ▁Cons ort ▁Ji , ▁crown ▁prince . ▁ ▁Only ▁after ▁Li ▁N ing ▁died ▁in ▁ 8 1 1 ▁was ▁Li ▁You ▁( who ▁was ▁renamed ▁Li ▁H eng ) ▁created ▁crown ▁prince , ▁by pass ing ▁another ▁older ▁brother , ▁Li ▁K uan ▁( 李 <0xE5> <0xAF> <0xAC> ) ▁the ▁Prince ▁of ▁Li . ▁ ▁Before ▁doing ▁so , ▁Emperor ▁X ian z ong ▁had ▁the ▁imperial ▁scholar ▁C ui ▁Q un ▁draft ▁a ▁pet ition ▁offering ▁to ▁yield ▁on ▁Li ▁K uan ' s ▁beh alf , ▁but ▁C ui ▁pointed ▁out ▁that ▁Li ▁H eng ▁was ▁born ▁of ▁a ▁wife ▁— ▁and ▁in ▁doing ▁so , ▁recognized ▁Cons ort ▁Gu o ▁as ▁Emperor ▁X ian z ong ' s ▁wife ▁rather ▁than ▁conc ub ine ▁— ▁whereas ▁Li ▁K uan ▁was ▁born ▁of ▁a ▁conc ub ine , ▁and ▁argued ▁that ▁such ▁a ▁pet ition ▁would ▁be
▁unnecessary . ▁ ▁Emperor ▁X ian z ong ▁agreed ▁and ▁did ▁not ▁ins ist ▁on ▁such ▁a ▁pet ition . ▁ ▁It ▁was ▁said ▁that ▁the ▁officials , ▁throughout ▁the ▁years , ▁submitted ▁repeated ▁pet itions ▁that ▁Cons ort ▁Gu o ▁be ▁created ▁em press , ▁and ▁the ▁efforts ▁became ▁particularly ▁inten se ▁in ▁ 8 1 3 . ▁However , ▁Emperor ▁X ian z ong , ▁who ▁had ▁many ▁favorite ▁conc ub ines , ▁was ▁concerned ▁that ▁due ▁to ▁Cons ort ▁Gu o ' s ▁hon ored ▁line age , ▁if ▁he ▁created ▁her ▁em press , ▁the ▁other ▁conc ub ines ▁would ▁not ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁have ▁sexual ▁relations ▁with ▁him . ▁ ▁He ▁therefore ▁decl ined ▁on ▁the ▁basis ▁that ▁the ▁times ▁were ▁not ▁fort un ate ▁times . ▁ ▁In ▁ 8 2 0 , ▁Emperor ▁X ian z ong ▁died ▁suddenly ▁— ▁a ▁death ▁that ▁was ▁commonly ▁believed ▁to ▁have ▁been ▁a ▁murder ▁carried ▁out ▁by ▁the ▁e un uch ▁Chen ▁Hong z hi ▁( 陳 弘 志 ). ▁ ▁After ▁some ▁confusion , ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁powerful ▁e un uch ▁T ut u ▁Ch eng c ui ▁apparently ▁tried ▁to ▁have ▁Li ▁K uan ▁( wh ose ▁name ▁had ▁been ▁changed ▁to ▁Li ▁Y un ▁( 李 <0xE6> <0x83> <0xB2> ) ▁by ▁this ▁point ) ▁made ▁em peror , ▁several ▁other ▁key ▁e un uchs ▁— ▁Li ang ▁Sh ou q ian ▁( <0xE6> <0xA2> <0x81> 守 <0xE8> <0xAC> <0x99> ), ▁Ma ▁J int an ▁( 馬

<0xE6> <0x97> <0xBC> ) ▁arrived ▁at ▁the ▁palace ▁to ▁visit ▁her , ▁Gu o ▁Min ▁was ▁made ▁the ▁military ▁governor ▁( J ied ush i ) ▁of ▁Bin ning ▁Circ uit ▁( <0xE9> <0x82> <0xA0> <0xE5> <0xAF> <0xA7> , ▁head qu arter ed ▁in ▁modern ▁X ian y ang , ▁Sh a an xi ). ▁ ▁The ▁imperial ▁scholar ▁Li u ▁G ong qu an ▁pointed ▁out ▁to ▁Emperor ▁W enz ong ▁that ▁the ▁people ▁came ▁to ▁believe ▁that ▁Gu o ▁Min ▁had ▁offered ▁his ▁two ▁daughters ▁to ▁be ▁Emperor ▁W enz ong ' s ▁conc ub ines , ▁and ▁in ▁exchange ▁was ▁made ▁a ▁military ▁governor . ▁ ▁At ▁Li u ' s ▁suggestion , ▁that ▁same ▁day , ▁Grand ▁Em press ▁Dow ager ▁Gu o ▁had ▁her ▁two ▁c ous ins ▁leave ▁the ▁palace ▁and ▁return ▁to ▁Gu o ▁Min ' s ▁house . ▁ ▁During ▁Emperor ▁W uz ong ' s ▁reign ▁In ▁ 8 4 0 , ▁Emperor ▁W enz ong ▁died , ▁and ▁his ▁younger ▁brother ▁Li ▁Chan ▁became ▁em peror ▁( as ▁Emperor ▁W uz ong ). ▁ ▁It ▁was ▁said ▁that ▁Emperor ▁W uz ong ▁fav ored ▁hunting ▁and ▁mart ial ▁games , ▁and ▁that ▁the ▁imperial ▁servants ▁known ▁as ▁the ▁W uf ang ▁Boys ▁( 五 <0xE5> <0x9D> <0x8A> 小 <0xE5> <0x85> <0x92> ) ▁were ▁allowed ▁to ▁enter ▁and ▁leave ▁the ▁palace ▁at ▁will ▁due ▁to ▁his ▁fav ors ▁for ▁them . ▁ ▁In ▁ 8 4 1 , ▁on ▁an ▁occasion ▁when ▁he ▁went
▁to ▁gre et ▁Grand ▁Em press ▁Dow ager ▁Gu o ▁and ▁asked ▁her ▁for ▁advice ▁on ▁gover ning ▁the ▁state , ▁she ▁suggested ▁that ▁he ▁listen ▁to ▁the ▁advice ▁of ▁the ▁officials . ▁ ▁Once ▁he ▁left ▁her ▁presence , ▁he ▁review ed ▁the ▁pet itions ▁from ▁the ▁officials , ▁and ▁many ▁of ▁them ▁ad vised ▁him ▁against ▁hunting ▁and ▁games . ▁ ▁There after , ▁he ▁reduced ▁those ▁activities ▁and ▁the ▁awards ▁that ▁he ▁was ▁giving ▁the ▁W uf ang ▁Boys . ▁ ▁During ▁Emperor ▁X u ā n z ong ' s ▁reign ▁In ▁ 8 4 6 , ▁Emperor ▁W uz ong ▁died , ▁and ▁his ▁uncle ▁Li ▁Y i ▁( wh ose ▁name ▁was ▁then ▁changed ▁to ▁Li ▁Chen ) — Em peror ▁X ian z ong ' s ▁son ▁by ▁his ▁conc ub ine ▁Cons ort ▁Zh eng — bec ame ▁em peror ▁( as ▁Emperor ▁X u ā n z ong ). ▁ ▁Grand ▁Em press ▁Dow ager ▁Gu o ▁continued ▁to ▁be ▁grand ▁em press ▁dow ager , ▁but ▁Emperor ▁X u ā n z ong ' s ▁mother ▁Cons ort ▁Zh eng ▁was ▁hon ored ▁as ▁em press ▁dow ager . ▁Emperor ▁X u ā n z ong ’ s ▁brother , ▁the ▁late ▁Emperor ▁M uz ong , ▁was ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁then ▁crown ▁prince ▁Li ▁Ch un ’ s ▁Main ▁Cons ort ▁( L ady ▁Gu o ); ▁thus ▁in ▁the ▁her edit ary ▁mon archy , ▁he ▁inherited ▁the ▁most ▁legit imate
