Everyday, women in Nigeria suffer human rights
violations in the name of culture, tradition or
religion. BAOBAB for Women's Human Rights is working for
equality and justice for women with the aim that women's
human rights become an integral part of everyday life.
Many people internationally have expressed their desire
to get involved in the fight for women's human rights in
Nigeria. Rights & Democracy, a Canadian Non-Profit organisation has agreed to accept international
donations on BAOBAB's behalf. This will allow concerned
individual around the world to support our activities
