Women Empowerment

 


Nigeria is home to a diverse population of women who face various forms of disadvantage and marginalization. These include widows, single mothers, women with disabilities, women from rural and remote areas, and women affected by conflict. The challenges faced by these women are often compounded by poverty, lack of education, and limited access to resources and opportunities.

Widows in Nigeria often face significant economic and social hardships. They may be denied their inheritance rights or face pressure to remarry within their late husband's family. Single mothers, who often lack the support of a partner, may also struggle to provide for their families and access basic services such as healthcare and education.

Women with disabilities in Nigeria face significant barriers to education, employment, and healthcare. They may be stigmatized and face discrimination, making it challenging to fully participate in society. Women from rural and remote areas often lack access to basic services and infrastructure, such as clean water, sanitation facilities, and transportation.

Women affected by conflict in Nigeria face unique challenges. They may be displaced from their homes and communities, leading to a loss of social support networks and economic opportunities. They may also be at increased risk of gender-based violence and exploitation.

That is why we are working hard to provide support and advocacy for marginalized women, including widows, single mothers, women with disabilities, and those affected by conflict.

Despite these efforts, more needs to be done to address the systemic challenges that prevent women from fully participating in Nigerian society. This includes tackling issues such as gender inequality, poverty, and violence against women. By promoting the rights and empowerment of disadvantaged and marginalized women in Nigeria, we can help build a more inclusive and equitable society for all.

Dekoa Foundation plays a vital role in supporting and empowering marginalized individuals and communities, particularly in Nigeria. In a country where women face various forms of discrimination and disadvantage, Dekoa Foundation helps provide essential services and support to women in need, including widows, single mothers, women with disabilities, women from rural and remote areas, and women affected by conflict.

  My father passed away when I was in primary four, and my mother passed away while I was writing my Weac. After the passing of my father, things become very difficult for my sister and I because our mother was uneducated and the job she obtained did not pay her enough to provide for us.  Even though our mother did her best, it was still difficult for the eight of us to exist on our own as a widowed family. We had to confront life alone and without assistance, and those who did want to help had requirements attached, so I and my friends and I observed how individuals who had been friendly to us when our parents were alive turned into really cruel people. So, my siblings and I battled to complete school on our own.  Because of what I experienced as a girl child, I also battled an inferiority mentality.  The idea originated from my upbringing and personal experiences.  Therefore, it has been my responsibility to speak up for those who have no voice and to make sure that I assist and enco

  Widows and vulnerable women face numerous challenges, including economic hardship, social isolation, and lack of access to basic necessities. These women are often overlooked and underserved, making it essential for us to reach out to them through our outreach program.
