As at 2017, 4 out of 10 Nigerians are said to suffer from mental health disorders, according to the World Health Organisation.
That is an estimated 30% of its population, a mjority of whom are women and young adults.

Silent voices speaks of these women who suffer trauma in marriages, and in trying to get access or custody to thier children after divorce.
