“The forces that unite us are intrinsic and greater than the superimposed influences that keep us apart.” -  Kwame Nkrumah (1909 - 1972)(First Prime Minister and President of Ghana)

See something, Say something!

Sexual and gender-based violence has become a pandemic across Nigeria. In order to tackle this menace, the Lagos State government has declared zero tolerance for domestic and sexual based violence in the state. Consequently, the Domestic and Sexual Violence Response  Team (DSVRT) has been upgraded to a full agency to deal with this shadow pandemic. Perpetrators beware! The law will soon catch up with you!  Active citizens, if you see something, say something. Report all incidents of gender and sexual abuse for a swift response here.

If you are interested in volunteering to monitor the ongoing Voter Registration Process - CVR, EiE Nigeria is looking for you. Click here to participate as we build our numbers towards credible elections.
