Say Her Name Nigeria

  • Anwulika Okonjo

In response to the victimisation and criminal arrests facing women in Nigeria, and the failures of broader movements to account for the distinct violence Women face at the hands of police, we formed a coalition of youth-led organisations to protest and advocate for the end the unlawful violence. My organisation, Through the Eyes of African Women, along side We Will Not Be Silent, Market March and Stand to End Rape, galvanised hundreds of protestors in 3 continents and 6 cities globally. We also collaborated with youth organisers and organisations providing support to survivors of sexual trauma to extend services and produce a series discussing and educating on gender based violence.
