Human Rights
Our human rights work focuses on five programmatic areas: Documentation and Monitoring, Legal Representation, Advocacy and Security Protection, and Storytelling
Documentation and Monitoring
We are engaged in an ongoing documentation and monitoring of human rights violations that are reported to us
Legal Representation and Paralegal Service
Through our in-house lawyer and a team of external lawyers, we provide pro-bono legal aid service to Nigerians.
Advocacy
We promote the equal rights of Nigerians through engagement at the national, regional and international human rights bodies.
Storytelling
We use storytelling as a tool to engage and educate the general public on issues relating to human rights in Nigeria.
Security Protection
We offer security and safety information to ensure that human rights violation and mob attacks are kept to a minimum.
Sexual Health
Our sexual health programme focuses on improving access to comprehensive health care services by minorities in Lagos and the environs.
We recognize that living in a hateful society has a negative impact on the well-being of minorities, so psychosocial support and re-integration services for minorities is an important aspect of the service we provide to individuals who face stigma, discrimination and sometimes violence.
Because we understand that some of our service users have jobs which are not flexible enough to allow them access services on weekdays, our services are available every day of the week at the Lekki Centre.
Our Sexual Health work focuses on four programmatic areas: Sexual Health Education, Advocacy, Psychosocial services and HIV/STI Management
Sexual Health Education
We provide individuals with sexual health education with focus on HIV/AIDS, and other STI prevention and management.
Advocacy
We embark on advocacy visits to public and private health facilities, health care providers and other relevant stakeholders to strengthen partnership for an enabling policy environment.
Psychosocial Services
We provide psychosocial counseling and services to individuals via one-on-one counseling sessions, and also via our Toll-free and hotlines.
HIV/STI Management
Our HIV Testing and Services team provides individuals with HIV counseling and testing services alongside STI syndromic management

An initiative to build the capacity of nascent Human Rights activists and organizations in Anglophone West Africa countries.
Sensitization and skills empowerment
