This study examines gender sensitivity and the representation of women in home videos, focusing on the films Dry and Wives on Strike. The primary aim is to analyze how these films portray women, with attention to gender roles, language use, and the influence of female creators. Employing content analysis, the research utilizes a coding sheet to systematically examine both verbal and non-verbal cues-including dialogue, gestures, and visual symbolism-across multiple viewings of the films. Secondary sources such as academic articles and reports from gender advocacy organizations provide additional context and triangulation. The study is anchored in gender theory, particularly feminist media theory, which interrogates how media narratives reinforce or challenge patriarchal norms. Findings reveal that while both films address critical issues such as child marriage and women's empowerment, they often oscillate between challenging and reinforcing traditional gender stereotypes. The study concludes that Nollywood films, despite some progress, continue to reflect societal ambivalence toward women's agency.
