Challenge

Across Nigeria, thousands of women face growing digital threats, cyberbullying, online harassment, grooming, extortion, misinformation, and the non-consensual sharing of personal images. These online attacks harm their mental health, disrupt learning, limit participation in digital spaces, and expose them to real-life risks. Unfortunately, most women lack digital literacy, safe reporting channels, and trusted community support. Digital violence is now the raising form of GBV in Africa.

Solution

This project empowers girls to navigate the digital world with confidence while strengthening families and communities to protect them. Train 2,000 girls on digital safety, online rights, privacy protection, and cyber-resilience. Establish 20 Girls Digital Safety Clubs as safe spaces for learning, peer support, and reporting suspected abuse. Launch a nationwide online awareness campaign amplifying the 2025 UNiTE theme: "End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls."

Long-Term Impact

This project will create a safer digital ecosystem for girls across Nigeria by increasing online protection skills, strengthening community accountability, and reducing digital violence. Empowered girls will be more confident to learn, communicate, and participate in digital spaces without fear. Teachers, parents, and community leaders will become long-term guardians of child online safety.
