Who We Are
WILPF Nigeria is a registered national and non-partisan not for profit organization created in 2008 in response to a country faced with multidimensional problems related to women’s discrimination and challenges to their participation in peace and security. WILPF Nigeria builds women’s capacity at the community, state and national level and enables them to be a part of a global network of a diverse women peace builders working towards gender equality and sustainable development. WILPF Nigeria aims at building the capacity of community and national organizations to enhance their ability to develop and use the existing international, national and state legal and political frameworks in order to achieve fundamental change in how they conceptualize and address issues of gender, militarism, peace, and security. WILPF Nigeria delivers its project from a gender and rights-based approach and strongly believes in the value chain of strategic partnership rather than reinventing the wheel.
