Protect Disabled Women from Gender-Based Violence

Violence and discrimination rob women and girls with disabilities of their confidence, security, and hope. Despite progress, 21% of Nigerian women still experience violence (Nigeria DHS, 2024). For disabled women, the barriers to recovery are even higher.

Our project addresses these challenges through comprehensive support: safe spaces for healing, psychosocial counseling, legal assistance, and practical training for 50 women and girls with disabilities in Guma. We also work with families and communities to reduce stigma, increase understanding, and promote inclusion.

Your contribution helps survivors rebuild their confidence, return to school or work, and become active members of their communities. By supporting this project, you help turn crisis into confidence—creating a ripple effect that uplifts families and transforms communities.

Join us to help every survivor become a symbol of strength and possibility.

In Nigeria, child marriage rates remain at 33% nationally, rising to 48% in rural areas and 67% among the poorest (Girls Not Brides, 2023). These statistics are even grimmer for girls with disabilities, who are often hidden from view and denied basic rights.

Our project in Guma is dedicated to uprooting inequality at its roots. We provide inclusive education, legal support, and safe spaces while engaging the whole community—leaders, parents, and peers—in conversations about equality and inclusion.

Your donation ensures that girls with disabilities have the same opportunities as their peers: to learn, grow, and make their own choices. You help create communities that stand up for every girl, regardless of her circumstances.

Be part of the movement to build truly inclusive communities in Northern Nigeria—your support matters.
