Help 521 Displaced Women Exit Sex Work in Abuja

Summary

This project will support 521 displaced women in Abuja who turned to sex work to survive after fleeing violent crises in Nigeria. Living in camps with no steady food, jobs, or support, many women are trapped in unsafe conditions. The project will provide safe shelter, basic items, small business kits, and health services to help them find safer paths. With practical help, many are ready to leave sex work and start again.

Challenge

Hundreds of women in Abuja camps fled from Boko Haram attacks, herder-farmer clashes, or community violence. With no jobs, housing, or government help, many have turned to sex work to feed themselves and their children. This puts them at daily risk of abuse, illness, and long-term harm. Without practical help, they remain trapped in unsafe, unhealthy conditions.

Solution

The project will give women basic supplies, safe temporary housing, and practical training. Each woman will be supported with a small business kit, health care, and follow-up support. They will be offered a safe way to stop sex work and begin earning in other ways. The project will also link them to trusted local services for long-term stability.

Long-Term Impact

With the right help, many women can stop relying on sex work and start safer jobs. They will be better protected from violence and illness. Their children will also benefit from more stable home lives. Helping 521 women now can reduce future cycles of poverty, abuse, and poor health across entire families and camps.
