Women and girls throughout the world continue to experience violence, discrimination, inequality, and poverty. In Nigeria, patriarchal structures and gender inequalities are deeply rooted. Nigerian women face challenges when acquiring formal education, full participation in political and economic life, and are exposed to increasing rates of violence such as prostitution, forced marriage, and trafficking. Moreover, current social and political circumstances in Nigeria forcibly put women in an even more vulnerable state.

Boko Haram, an Islamist militant group, has attacked Nigeria’s police and army, politicians, schools, religious buildings, public institutions, and civilians with increasing regularity since 2009. More than ten thousand people have been killed in Boko Haram-related violence, and 1.5 million have been displaced. In April 2014, Boko Haram drew international condemnation and attention by abducting more than 200 schoolgirls from Chibok town in Borno state. In addition, the increased number of Boko Haram attacks caused the unprecedented rise in internally displaced people (IDP) in Nigeria, estimating 1,235,300 people who were forced to flee their homes, as of February 2015. The vast majority of IDP are women and children, and they repeatedly face a range of threats to their physical safety and restrictions on their freedom of movement. Such political and social conflicts in the state place Nigerian women and girl in crisis, therefore, their position and fundamental rights in Nigeria require critical attention.

Around the world, there are efforts to raise international awareness in the incidents of Boko Haram and overall issues of Nigerian women. What follows is a list of 20 pertinent foundations that support women’s issues in Nigeria and globally.

    We have been working to alleviate the educational challenges of girl-child and youth unemployment in Oyo State, Nigeria. We want to raise 100 million Naira ($500,000) girls education scholarship fund. To ensure no girl misses education due to poverty. We need funds and volunteers to start training girls leadership skills to boost their self-esteem, confidence and re position them as contributors to social development. In the nearest future we want to build a state of the art Skills Centre for youths. Right now we are carrying out feasibility study for food security initiative for grass root women on the production of mushrooms. We need help in these areas. Thank you

    Dear Sir/Madam

    Curbing Joblessness and Criminality Amongst Youth Through Skill Acquisition Program.

    My organization, ARTFLUX, has been on for front in Technical Skill Acquisition In Nigeria Since 1999. It is quite expensive, but achievable when it comes to job creation and self reliance for teeming unemployed youth.
    State Governments have been sponsoring us, but for continuity due to high demand and cases of militancy in north east Nigeria which has lead to displacement of more than 1.5m people, causing high rate of poverty in the region.
    We have made application to you for sponsorship, and we still ask for quick intervention on the program , because idle youth are prone to different anti social activities. We are spending US$100,000 for Training, monthly stipends and daily feeding, exit tool package and graduation for 100 beneficiaries (youth and women). In local currency #20,000,000naira, Nigeria currency, and we admit up to 300 beneficiaries for a batch period of 3month with – Sit Tight on Job- method. 80%practical and 20%theory. These we have been doing for over 15yrs.
    It is becoming financially challenging to continue these due to inflation in my country Nigeria.
    Best Regards
    Chris Arinze
