Community engagement: We partner with people in the local community to promote women’s rights in their area, train local newsrooms to report on women-related stories, and engage with organisations to make policies that favour women in their companies. High-level research: We conduct industry-related high-level research about women to ensure the free flow of accurate information about us. In-depth analysis: We conduct an in-depth analysis of women-related experiences towards providing accurate data to change the status quo Stakeholder gathering: Through our annual conference, we engage with media owners, journalists, politicians, and women’s rights advocates to discuss and promote the agenda of female liberation in Nigeria Policy formulation and implementation: To create impact, we formulate policies instrumental to women’s liberation
