As members of the Leadership Initiatives' (LI) International Internship Program, Team 24063, Mina, Katerine, Mateo, Noa, Nelson, Sofia L, and Sofia O. have been working through our partnership with the Bauchi community to address human rights abuses through advocacy and raising awareness through research, community workshops, and educational training programs. LI and the team aim to mobilize support, secure adequate funding, and empower local organizations to combat human rights violations.
In Bauchi, Nigeria, human rights abuses are unfortunately common, yet awareness about these issues remains limited. A major challenge lies in the insufficient funding for crucial research, advocacy and awareness campaigns, and educational training programs. Many organizations, due to the lack of resources, basic training, and limited aid, are unable to support victims and implement preventive measures effectively.
Leadership Initiatives and our team work with local advocates and community leaders in Bauchi to assist them in creating local campaigns to increase awareness of human rights abuses, sex trafficking, educational system disparities, and child endangerment. In doing so, Leadership Initiatives, Team 24063, and community leaders will identify ways community members can report and work to contain/stop these abuses through awareness, education, and advocacy.
We will help create a community that can identify human rights abuses, advocate for a safer community, empower individuals to spark sustainable development and remove the stigma of victims to create a vehicle for advocacy in order to contribute to the growth of democracy and freedom.
