We wanted to build a movement around the 16 Days of Activism by leveraging the skills and knowledge of organizations and individuals dedicated to gender issues. Industry Nite, Invictus Africa, Sanaa Africa, Eyowo, Influencers, Artists, Poets, DJs, and upcoming music producers are among the partners.

1. Industry Nite - A music talent accelerator that has supported 90% of Nigeria's top artists, including Burna Boy, WizKid, Davido, Johnny Drille, Tiwa Savage, and many more.

We refocused the accelerator to include more female performances across genres and talents – the pilot, which debuted on the eve of the 16 Days of Activism Campaign on November 24th, featuring 80% female representation, including DJs, Artists, poets, dancers, and Masters of Ceremony.

2. V is for Voices -   V is for Voices is an audio play featuring the voices of various creative African women, with the goal of shifting the conversation away from objectifying women's bodies and toward their voices. Aja Monet, a poet and black American multidisciplinary creative, is the project's champion.

We are working together on a petition titled "THE WILL TO CHANGE," which is part of a campaign to start the process of "ending patriarchy."

3. Spoken Word Community and International Influencers

We have collaborated with J- Ivy, a three-time Grammy nominated poet and NAACP award winner, as well as DEF-I, a grammy voting member and incredible artist, to amplify the 16 days of activism on a global stage and raise awareness.

We've also worked with the True My Voice community, a group of young storytellers, two of whom have used the power of storytelling to advocate passionately for the end of violence against women.

We explored music, spoken word and dance performances as a tool to drive our campaigns and advocacy. We realized that the Creatives are looking for ways to speak out against inequity, poverty, and injustice. Interestingly, several creatives have incredible backstories that humanize them beyond their celebrity status.

# data[].attributes.body
During the 16 days of activism, petitions on gender issues from various campaigns were shared. We highlighted period poverty campaigns, policies that improve workplace conditions for women, girl child education, economic advancement for women, and gender-based violence, among other topics.

# data[].attributes.body
The influencers and artists have personal backstories and values that align with the issues we care about. Through the events, we captured critical stories to help inspire the country. They are the pipeline for the She Creates Change and We Create Change programs. Our programs need to intentionally recruit changemakers who have campaigns targeted at women and gender issues.
