In 2026, Nigeria continues to witness a disturbing rise in femicide cases, women and girls losing their lives simply because of their gender.
Reports and trackers show that behind every case is a life cut short, often in spaces where women should feel safest.

Don’t wait to do it all. Start with what you can, where you are.
On 8 December 2019, Favour Daley Oladele, a final-year student of Lagos State University, was brutally murdered after being lured to Osun State by someone she trusted.

Today, FAME Foundation, through its PLAY it DREAM it Initiative, proudly launches the PLAY it DREAM it Safe Sport Pledge in commemoration of International Safe Sport Day.
This pledge is a call to action for athletes, coaches, parents, officials, volunteers, sports organizations,
