This was not just the usual dialogue… it was a real, honest conversation.
Voices were raised, not in anger, but in purpose.
From powerful contributions at the table to shared ideas written on simple notes, every moment mattered. You could feel it… people were not just talking, they were listening, learning, and challenging each other to do better.

With support from ActionAid Nigeria and funding from Global Affairs Canada, the Advocacy for Women with Disabilities Initiative (AWWDI) is implementing the Renewed Women's Voice and Leadership Nigeria (RWVL-N) Project to amplify the voices of women and girls with disabilities, strengthen their leadership, and advance disability-inclusive policies and programmes that promote gender equality and inclusive development across Nigeria.

Climate action needs resources, not more debt. It’s time to cancel the debt and fund climate action for resilient, inclusive communities.

Accessibility saves lives!

​During climate emergencies, our responses cannot afford to leave anyone behind. To build truly resilient communities, we must prioritize Accessible Solutions at every level of disaster management. This means guaranteeing:

​🚨 Early Warning Systems for All
​🏠 Accessible Shelters
​♿ Inclusive Emergency Response
​🌱 Stronger Climate Resilient Communities

​When everyone is included, our communities are stronger and far more resilient! With the proud support of the Disability Rights Fund (DRF), the Advocacy for Women with Disabilities Initiative (AWWDI) is taking action for people, communities, and a safer tomorrow.
