Domestic Abuse Escape
Aisha
Aisha endured years of physical and emotional abuse in her marriage in a community near Isolo. After a particularly severe incident, she found the courage to reach out to the foundation's helpline. With safe shelter, counselling, and legal guidance, she left the relationship and secured a protection order. Today, Aisha lives independently in Oke Afa with her children and runs a small provisions stall. She now volunteers with the foundation, helping other women recognise early signs of abuse.

Sexual Violence Healing
Funke
Funke was sexually assaulted by a relative while living in a crowded neighbourhood in Lagos. Shame and fear kept her silent for months until a friend connected her to the foundation. Through trauma-informed counselling and peer support groups, she began to heal. The foundation also supported her pursuit of justice and skills training in tailoring. Funke has since rebuilt her confidence and speaks anonymously in awareness sessions to reduce stigma around sexual violence.

In her marriage in the Oshodi-Isolo area, Chioma faced ongoing sexual coercion and control that left her feeling trapped and worthless. After confiding in a neighbour, she contacted the foundation's domestic violence program. They provided emergency safety planning, therapy, and help securing child custody. Now living safely in a new area, Chioma works as a makeup artist and mentors young women on healthy relationships through the foundation's outreach.

She credits the foundation's holistic support with giving her a second chance at life.
