Harmony Advocacy Network at International Women’s Day 2026 – “Give to Gain”
Harmony Advocacy Network proudly participated in the International Women’s Day 2026 celebration, themed “Give to Gain – Rights, Justice, Action for All Women and Girls.”
The event served as a powerful platform to amplify voices, promote gender equality, and advocate for the protection of the rights of women, girls, and vulnerable individuals in our society. As an organization committed to ending abuse and violence, Harmony Advocacy Network used this opportunity to engage with stakeholders, raise awareness, and reinforce the importance of collective action in building a safer and more inclusive community.
Through meaningful interactions, sensitization, and shared experiences, the Network emphasized that sustainable progress is only possible when individuals and institutions are willing to give their time, resources, and support—to empower others. Indeed, when we give, we create pathways to growth, justice, and lasting impact.
Our presence at the event reaffirmed our dedication to advocacy, justice, and community development. Harmony Advocacy Network remains steadfast in its mission to protect, uplift, and amplify the voices of women and girls, ensuring that no one is left behind.
Together, we give. Together, we gain.

WORLD TUBERCULOSIS DAY 2026
Theme: “Yes! We Can End Tuberculosis”
Today, on World Tuberculosis Day, Harmony Advocacy Network stands in solidarity with individuals, families, and communities affected by tuberculosis (TB) across Nigeria and the world.
Tuberculosis remains one of the leading infectious diseases globally, yet it is preventable, treatable, and curable. The theme for this year, “Yes! We Can End Tuberculosis,” is not just a statement. It is a call to action. It reminds us that with collective effort, commitment, and awareness, we can eliminate this disease.
At Harmony Advocacy Network, we recognize that vulnerable populations, especially women, children, and marginalized groups, are often the most affected due to limited access to healthcare, poor living conditions, and lack of awareness. This is why we are committed to:
Promoting awareness and education about TB prevention and treatment
Encouraging early testing and reducing stigma associated with the disease
Advocating for improved healthcare access for vulnerable communities
Supporting policies and initiatives aimed at ending TB
Ending tuberculosis requires collaboration between governments, organizations, healthcare providers, and communities. It also requires compassion because no one should suffer in silence due to stigma or lack of information.
Together, we can break the chain of transmission. Together, we can save lives.
Yes, we can end tuberculosis.

NGO urges schoolchildren’s sensitisation on sexual violence

Kindly share this story:

A non-governmental organisation, Harmony Advocacy Network, has called for the sensitisation of pupils and students, particularly in rural and semi-urban communities, on their rights regarding sexual abuse and gender-based violence.

The coordinator, Harmony Tachie, made this known during the launch of a sensitisation programme held across schools on July 3 and 7 in Delta State.

According to her, there are gaps among school-aged children, including a lack of formal structures within the existing school curriculum to address such issues.

Tachie, who spoke to PUNCH Metro on Wednesday, said the exercise would encourage the students to speak up and support one another.

She said, “The idea for the sensitisation of schoolchildren in Delta State was borne out of the growing need to address the rising cases of Gender-Based Violence, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence, and abuse affecting children and adolescents within the state. A lot was discovered to be going on during our findings. Children, especially in the rural and semi-urban areas of the state, are increasingly exposed to risks such as sexual abuse and harmful traditional practices.

“Most of them are unaware of their rights or how to seek help. So, educating them early on their rights will encourage them to speak up and support one another. We also instilled confidence in them so they can protect themselves and others. The initiative aligns with broader advocacy goals to protect vulnerable populations and reduce violence in society. We believe prevention starts with education.”

She disclosed that the sensitisation programme was held at Ugbolokposo Secondary School, World Light Academy, both in Effurun and Pessu Primary School, Warri.

Tachie, however, called on the government at all levels to review and update existing laws to address emerging forms of gender-based violence.

“In the areas of support systems, the government needs to increase budget allocation for GBV support services, and these include shelter, counselling and legal aid. There is also a need to conduct community sensitisation programs to raise awareness about GBV and its consequences,” she added.

My name is Ogechi Isaiah, I am 32 years old.
I live on the same compound with Mr Yunsa Muhammad, and we started dating. I was cooking, washing and cleaning his house for him.

On 4th January 2025, around 10:30/11pm. I brought his clothes that he washed, and i helped him to pack them from the rope. I asked him to cross-check if the clothes were complete.
He didn't respond to me. He asked me to drop the clothes in his room. So I repeated that he should cross-check, before I knew anything, he gave me a heavy blow on my right eyes, immediately my eyes started bleeding and dripping water.

Neighbours came out and asked him to take me to the hospital.
He started begging and promised to take responsibility for my medical bills. But he didn't fulfil his promise.

As it is now, I have lost my right eyes.
