🟠 Dylan Mathews joins our call to end gender-based violence ✊🎗️🧡 Dylan is the Chair of the Board of Directors at CIVICUS and CEO of Peace Direct. "We all should care about gender-based violence because one in three women and girls experience gender-based violence. That means we all know someone who will experience it in their lives. [Therefore], all of us have to do something about it. All of us, in whichever way we can, should participate in this action. Activism is something not just for the activists. [It] is, as a famous writer once said, 'my rent for living on this planet.' So I encourage you all to do something in the next 16 days." #16DaysOfActivism #NoExcuse

#16DaysOfActivism 2024 theme, “Towards Beijing +30: UNiTE to End Violence Against Women and Girls." - bit.ly/3CGOxS2. There is #NoExcuse to violence against women, we join the campaign to challenge prevalent gender-based violence in Nigeria. Ladies Empowerment Goals and Support Initiative (LEGASI) has a goal to empower especially women and girls in Nigeria to ensure they live peacefully and are empowered within their community to live their lives free of any form of violence and hate. Our Theory of Change (ToC) stands on the premise that if more women and girls are empowered financially, emotionally and have access to good education with the right social support systems they become less vulnerable to violence within their immediate community and the larger society. As a community-based organization, the organizations Girl-Centered programs are focused at firstly creating safe spaces for women and girls to converge and discuss about their unique challenges, especially domestic constraints which they face on a daily basis. Through our Women, Peace and Security program we are constantly bridging the gap on preventing the cycle of violence for women and girls in our intervention communities and strive to give the women and girls a voice and role models they can look up to when they have to speak up and speak out on issues that concern them. Overall, we are building confidence, leadership and communication skills, harnessing entrepreneurial opportunities towards financial independence. Peace Direct Kayode Oguntade kaltumi Abdulazeez
