Hi, I’m a domestic violence researcher and advocate dedicated to supporting women and children affected by gender-based violence in Nigeria.

This mission is deeply personal. I was raised by a single mother navigating Nigeria’s harsh economic realities. Her courage and resilience shaped my path and fuel my commitment to building safer, more affirming futures for others like her.

As a researcher, I focus on the intersection of gender-based violence, economic hardship, and cultural silence. I’m currently raising funds to expand my work in two key areas:

Research & Knowledge Building

I aim to conduct survivor-informed research that highlights the lived experiences of Nigerian women and children, especially those often overlooked in mainstream narratives. This includes:

• Documenting survivor stories with dignity and care
• Exploring culturally specific barriers to safety and healing
• Developing evidence-based interventions rooted in local realities


Building a Supportive Organisation

I’m also laying the foundation for a grassroots organisation that will:

• Provide trauma-informed digital resources and creative healing tools
• Offer parenting support for survivors raising children
• Collaborate with local advocates to amplify survivor voices
• Create safe, accessible spaces for education, community, and empowerment


Your support will help me commission survivor-led content, build a digital platform, and conduct fieldwork that informs sustainable, culturally relevant solutions. Every contribution brings us closer to a future where no woman or child feels alone in their healing journey.

Thank you for believing in this work and in the power of community-led change.
