Every woman bleeds; menstruation is nothing to be ashamed about: it is a natural process. ⠀
⠀
On May 28th, we celebrated World Menstrual Hygiene Day by partnering with SafHernet and AFK Foundation to equip girls with relevant hygiene knowledge, challenge stigmatisation, and share sanitary pads with them. ⠀
⠀
We marked this occasion by celebrating with young girls of two secondary schools in Ibadan. ⠀
⠀
Through interactive sessions, we emphasised that periods are not a curse or a secret but a healthy part of life. ⠀
⠀
We will continue to address misinformation and promote informed conversations around menstrual and reproductive health. ⠀

Stigma and shame remain some of the most devastating consequences faced by survivors of sexual and gender-based violence around the world.

For many survivors, the violence does not end with the abuse itself; it continues through rejection, silence, humiliation, and blame from families, communities, and even institutions that should offer protection.

Instead of receiving compassion and support, survivors are often treated as though they are responsible for the harm committed against them.

In many societies, survivors are labelled as 'dishonoured,' 'damaged,' or 'impure'. These harmful attitudes force survivors into silence out of fear of ridicule, abandonment, or social exclusion.

Young girls may be denied education or marriage opportunities, while married women may face divorce, rejection, or domestic abuse after disclosing their experiences.

As a society we need to show empathy and support survivors to make them feel better not worse.

Harmful widowhood practices are acts that humiliate, abuse, or violate widows after the death of their husbands.

These practices include forcing widows to drink water used to bathe a co**se, shaving their hair against their will, denying them inheritance, or subjecting them to inhuman treatment.

Every woman deserves dignity, respect, and protection.

In Nigeria, anyone who carries out harmful widowhood practices can be punished by law and may be liable to:
• A fine not exceeding ₦500,000
• Imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years
• Or both

Let us speak against violence, discrimination, and harmful traditions. Protect widows. Protect human dignity.

Ending Gender-Based Violence is not only a women’s issue. Men have a powerful role to play as allies, advocates, and protectors of human dignity.

Real strength is not found in control, intimidation, or silence. Real strength is speaking up against abuse, respecting women, challenging harmful behaviors, and creating safe spaces for girls and women to thrive.

When men become allies, communities become safer and stronger for everyone.

Together, we can build a world free from violence and fear.

One of our impactful projects from last year was dedicated to empowering girls through education, awareness on gender-based violence (GBV), access to tech and career opportunities, and life-changing skills for personal development.

The safety and future of our girls rest in our hands and within our communities.

As an NGO, we remain committed to protecting the rights of girls, combating GBV, and contributing to a safer and more developed Nigeria where every girl can thrive.

It's important to know the signs of an abusive partner. These are some of the signs of abusive partners:

1.Control Everything

An abusive partner often wants power over your choices, movements, finances, or relationships. They may disguise control as “care” or “protection” to limit your independence.

2. Constant Insults & Humiliation

They repeatedly use words or actions that damage your confidence and self-worth. Over time, the criticism can make you feel small, ashamed, or emotionally drained.

3. Extreme Jealousy & Possessiveness

They become angry or suspicious whenever you interact with others, even without reason. This behaviour is often about control, not love or genuine concern.

4. Threats, Fear, or Intimidation

They use fear to gain obedience, whether through threats, aggressive behaviour, or destruction of property. A relationship should never leave you feeling unsafe or afraid.
