Last Friday, SCIDaR joined the global movement for the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. Our employees wore orange to work as a call to action standing in unity for the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
Orange symbolizes a brighter future, free from violence, and our team showed their commitment by not only wearing the color but embodying its meaning. It was a moment to reflect, amplify, and inspire action.
The message is clear: we will not stand by in silence.
At SCIDaR, activism goes beyond a day—it’s embedded in how we work, lead, and collaborate to create safer communities. We’re not just imagining a violence-free world; we’re working to build it.

Uchenna Igbokwe (@UchennaIgbokwe8), our Executive Director, recently attended the Concept Foundation (non-profit)'s photo exhibition on the sidelines of #WHA77 in Geneva. The exhibit, "POSTPARTUM HAEMORRHAGE: A GLOBAL TRAGEDY AFFECTING GENERATIONS," resonated deeply with one of our projects at SCIDaR, the Smiles for Mothers (SfM) program funded by @MSDforMothers.
This exhibition shone a light on a critical issue: postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. PPH, or severe bleeding after childbirth, is a global tragedy disproportionately impacting low- and middle-income countries. The alarming statistics only tell part of the story and photographers Paul Joseph Brown and Joni Kabana captured the profound human cost of #PPH by spotlighting the people behind the numbers - mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives.
#SCIDaR, through the Smiles for Mothers program, is actively working to reduce PPH and maternal mortality in Nigeria, by implementing innovative solutions to ensure safe deliveries and healthy mothers.
Join us in raising awareness and driving change! No woman should die while giving life.
