Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ journalist Basma El Atti and Nigerian women's rights advocate Oyinyechi Ezeanowi discuss how online communities may be dividing men and women.

In this episode, Focus on Africa: The Conversation explores the 'femosphere' which is a growing online community of female influencers encouraging women to give up on gender equality, approach relationships strategically and seek financial benefits from men, often in the name of empowerment. While researchers say there's no evidence it's radicalising followers like the manosphere, there are concerns about its impact on young women and modern relationships.

So how is the femosphere impacting relationships? And how influential is it? Host Nkechi Ogbonna speaks to Basma El Atti, a journalist with Focus on Africa who has been researching this topic, and Nigerian women's rights advocate Oyinyechi Ezeanowi to find out more.
