Hey CHAFHEIN Family!

November has been an amazing month, and we’re beyond excited to share everything we’ve been up to! This month has been about making waves and pushing for change, from raising awareness on SRHR issues to spotlighting some truly inspiring women.

We’ve witnessed incredible engagement, sparked important conversations, and worked together to create a more inclusive future for all. But this is just the beginning—our journey is far from over.

Look at some of the exciting initiatives and activities we’ve rolled out this month, and get ready for more inspiring updates as we continue to empower, uplift, and inspire.

The Kima Woman Project:16 Northern Women, 16 Northern Stories Honoring Remarkable Women

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign that calls for the elimination of violence against women and girls. Observed annually from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day), the campaign emphasizes the urgent need for collective action to protect women’s rights and end all forms of gender-based violence.

In line with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, we proudly launched The Kima Woman Project to celebrate 16 remarkable women from Northern Nigeria. These women have demonstrated exceptional courage and resilience, breaking societal norms and driving transformative change in their communities.

Through their stories, we are reminded of the power of determination and the impact one individual can make in creating safer, more equitable communities.

SRHR Word of the Week

In our ongoing commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of key SRHR concepts, we spotlighted “Empowerment and Inclusion” as part of our “SRHR Word of the Week” series. These terms are foundational to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Empowerment highlights the importance of individuals making informed decisions about their health, while Inclusion ensures equal access to services for all.

These values continue to guide our efforts in creating a more equitable and accessible environment for everyone.
