Overview

A feminist institution founded in 1993 by Bene Madunagu and Grace Osakue to lead the transformation of patriarchal values in Nigeria through the empowerment of children and young females with accurate information and skills from a gender perspective for self-reliance. Working since 1994 to promote the rights of children especially girls and mobilise them for development and participation through research, education and action oriented programmes directed towards their empowerment. GPI Nigeria recognises the right of children especially girls to survival, effective protection, development and participation, and these cannot be achieved if their relevance is not acknowledged. We further believe that the achievement of the overall goal of women's emancipation from their present problems of poverty, ignorance, disease and subjugation can only be fully realised if the rights of girls are protected; girls are healthy and mobilised for development.
