We’re still reliving the impact of the Gen-Z Democratic Innovation Lab. What began as a space filled with doubt and frustration about Nigeria’s democracy has grown into a community of young people ready to carry the message of civic action and democratic participation everywhere they go.
From disbelief to action, this is what youth-led change looks like.

Technology should empower, not endanger.
At Women Advocates Research and Documentation Centre, in partnership with International Federation of Women Lawyers @fidakenya@FIDANigeria and supported by the United Nations Trust Fund @UNTrustFundEVAW , we have unveiled The Digital Harm Effect report.
Our findings reveal the growing misuse of digital platforms to perpetrate abuse against women and girls across Sub-Saharan Africa.
This is a call to strengthen systems, accountability, and protection mechanisms. The digital space must be safe for all.

Meet Diana Godinho — Girls Advisory Council Alumna, advocate, and changemaker from Brazil 🇧🇷
