How We Pursue Our Goals
- We encourage and support girls who drop out of school as a result of teenage pregnancy to return back to school and empower those who do not want to return to school
- We work with the Governments (Federal &State) and other relevant agencies to ensure the Child rights Act is implemented as every child have the right to education
- We form alliance with other NGOs, many of whom have significant reach and influence. We support ourselves to collaborate and share learning to improve the quality of our programs and advocacy work, and act as a critical team encouraging members to continuously improve their work on gender equality and women’s rights.
- We work with our members and allies to influence decision-makers and shape policy formation and implementation.
- We also work with allies internationally – including women’s rights organisations – to target some of the most powerful international institutions. We work with allies globally to promote a feminist reframing of macroeconomics, recognising the central role economic policies play in shaping gender equality and women’s rights
- We recognise that change will only be sustainable and transformative if we work together, building alliances globally to boost our collective strength, so we can hold decision makers to account. As part of this movement building we promote feminist alternatives to current unequal power structures and practices - demonstrating that change is not only necessary but possible.
- We promote enrollment in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics)
- We promote and educate on the importance of reproductive health
