Male preference is a social issue that has been ar

Male preference is a social issue that has been around for as long as men began living on earth. There are many factors that have led to the continuation of male preference, one of which is the belief that male children are more useful than female children. Although, in past years, it was common for families to prefer male children; female children are now being treated equally and they are becoming more and more valuable in society. However, people still hold the belief that male children are preferable to females.

It is wrong to rate one gender over the other or treat children unequally based on their gender. Both boys and girls are worthy to be treated as children. A woman should not be blamed for the sex of a child because the man is responsible for passing the gene that determines the sex of a child. 👧👦
Get informed and stop violence against women!.

Violence against women is one of the most pervasiv

Violence against women is one of the most pervasive and urgent human rights violations globally. It is a phenomenon that has received increased attention in international circles, with the United Nations General Assembly adopting a resolution to eliminate all forms of violence against women in 2014.

Despite this and other collective actions taken by governments, civil society and the private sector, violence against women remains a reality for many women around the world. Beyond this, women are also excluded from political processes and decision-making at all levels, which limits full participation by women at different levels, it becomes even more prevalent in societies with a history of conflict and war.
By uniting we can eliminate this by speaking up against it.

Rape is one of the most abhorrent crimes in our so

Rape is one of the most abhorrent crimes in our society. Rape is not just a crime, it is a violation of the most basic human rights. A woman can never consent to be raped no matter what the circumstances are, and there should be no excuse for rape, even if she was not properly dressed, drinking, or withdrew consent when you got in the mood. Rape is unacceptable and it is gender-based violence.

Today we are not only fighting gender-based violence but also against any form of violence as it perpetuates in our lives. We are all part of a greater community and we need to stand up together against gender-based violence and other forms of oppression because we need each other to survive this world.

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a term that encompa

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a term that encompasses all acts of gender-based violence that harm or cause suffering to individuals, families, and communities. GBV is not just physical violence. It also includes sexual, psychological, and emotional abuse, as well as practices that limit reproductive choices and access to services such as female genital mutilation, forced marriage and child marriage. GBV has been recognised as a human rights violation and it is internationally condemned.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign is observed every year from 25 November, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day. This campaign is a global movement to raise awareness and bring an end to violence against women and girls.

So over the course of 16 days, we will be sharing quotes and stories of women who have experienced one form of gender-based violence or another. Today marks the first day of the 16 Days and we have worked with people who experience GBV in different ways in our Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) desk. On today’s Orange Day we are sharing a GBV story to bring awareness to the frequency at which people experience Gender Based Violence.

Have you experienced GBV in any form? Please share with us in the comment section or anonymously or via our DM. By having these conversations we want to let young people and women know that these are our realities and we need to confront them.

For us, Mondays are not the most exciting day of the week. In fact, quite often they can be a drag… But we don't let this get in the way of our productivity! So we do a learning session before the actual meeting to hush our nerves.

Here, we address action items, discuss roadblocks, and solve problems. It's a great time to bond with our teammates, ask questions, and get tasks assigned.
Don't let Monday be a nerve-racking day for you, Stay on top of your game this week and make your week count.

It’s always our delight to engage with in-school

It’s always our delight to engage with in-school adolescents. They are at the core of our programming as an organisation. In the last 2 months with support from the Movement for Good the End Female Genital Mutilation and approval from the Ministry of Education, we have worked with our amazing project assistants in #Oyo and #Ogbomoso to reach students in over 30 schools with information on the health implications of Female Genital Mutilation and how to speak up and act to bring the practice to an end in their various communities. Yes, we want it participatory so they own the message and they can push it on their own.

Shockingly, it’s 2022 and there are still people in both urban and rural centres who believe a girl child should be circumcised. They have various myths woven around this to perpetuate the practice. We’ll bring you heartbreaking stories we have heard in the last 2 months. Watch this space.

Taking the information on the ills of FGM to students in their schools help strengthen adolescent health information systems and build a sustainable mechanism to ensure the practice ends in this generation.

Onelife Initiative recently joined the World Allia

Onelife Initiative recently joined the World Alliance for Citizen Participation at the review of the CIVICUS Solidarity Fund grantmaking framework together with the Member Advisory Group. The engagement was primarily to deliberate on the future working of the funds in the context of participatory grantmaking.

We also got a peep into how grantmaking decisions are made at the level of a network. It was an opportunity to connect with other civil society actors from across the world and further strengthen alliances.☺️

Join @stablemums.ng as they hold their second edit

Join @stablemums.ng as they hold their second edition of its annual conference on bridging the gap in maternal health. Information on maternal mental health is one rarely talked about especially for new moms.

Here is an opportunity for mothers to learn how to care for their mental health while caring for their little ones as well.

Over the course of several months, we have consist

Over the course of several months, we have consistently held Monday meetings which have also evolved to include sessions for Employee Development. During this period, we use the first hour to learn something new in a presentation-style discussion taken by a guest, a member of staff, a volunteer, or an intern.

Today, the session was titled — Job Description or Job Confusion: Planning your Moments at Work taken by the Director of Admin and Programmes. Soon, we will be compiling everything we have learnt through these sessions possibly as an e-book. Keep a close watch on our website for this... but today we learnt how to maximise our time at our workplace especially because we spend more time at work than in other places.

Whether you need information about registration wi

Whether you need information about registration with a government agency or you want to make inquiries about how you can register for health insurance, enquiry about a school admission, and how much it would cost you and other details, it should be easy to get this information. Citizens by now should be able to dial the number of a Ministry, Department or an Agency to make inquiries, especially with the level of technological development we have attained as a nation-state.

Our Town Hall meeting which was held last week on the 27th of October with youths had us thinking about ways we can expand the civic space in terms of government engagement with youths. The town hall meeting was held to sensitise youths on the need and how to engage the government in their activities as groups. Different groups, thanks to the National Youth Council of Nigeria were represented at the town hall meeting which helped them understand what the different agencies were set up for and how they can best engage them.

’Fisayo is one of the unseen hands behind several of the successes we have recorded at Onelife Initiative. His role as the Board Chair continues to make our taste buds long endlessly for success.

On days like this, we are appreciative of his gesture in ensuring the organisation’s systems continue to function and thrive. Thank you Sir for sticking with us while we continue to make the life of young people count. Happy Birthday and see you in Achimota soon…. Lol.

Later today, we will be validating our findings. For months now, we have been crunching data and also reviewing information. Our goal is to further activate the citizenship of young people in Oyo State. Open up the government to them. Encourage them to reach out to the Federal and State Ministries, Departments and Agencies in the state for information that they need or interactions they desire.

We have made some process. We’ll be interacting with 75 youths and some MDAs today to share some of our findings. The good and the bad of course! And more importantly, get more insights and feedback from participants at today’s event on how best we can ensure young people in Oyo state continue to Dial the Government! If you can dial your bank when you have issues with your account and call your mobile number carriers, it should be possible to email, call or DM a government institution. That’s the idea behind Dial the Government.

This week was all about the law and where the gaps

This week was all about the law and where the gaps are in the nonprofit space. It was interesting as Tolu, a lawyer in training gave insights on major gaps nonprofit organisations need to plug.

We learned about the different types of intellectual properties and had a back-and-forth on who truly owns a document or job that has been undertaken by staff while being part of a team in an organisation.

We have come to some realisation on ownership of creatives. It has been a time of learning and rethinking as we create as part of a whole rather than by ourselves. Our employee handbook will be having a new version soon. Thank you, Tolu for helping to start this conversation.

Congratulations to Precious who just got staffed.

Congratulations to Precious who just got staffed. Precious came in as a volunteer to Onelife Initiative and has shown outstanding character and ethics. Our work at Onelife is thorough given our standards and it can be quite daunting sometimes for staff, especially volunteers. From our attention to detail, meeting deliverables and ensuring project beneficiaries are always left better than we met them, it is sometimes a tall order but we always pull through as a team.

We look forward to her growth even as she continues to support the organisation’s growth; and our reach to our project beneficiaries. Welcome again to the Team. 😊

Perpetually, we hear from passionate women and gir

Perpetually, we hear from passionate women and girls who want to know how to stop Female Genital Mutilation from being practised in their communities. We are dedicated to doing what we can to make a difference.

As part of pre-activities to commemorate #IDGC2022 we visited St. Bernadine Girls Grammar School, Oyo town and had the opportunity to talk to a group of girls there about Female Genital Mutilation. While some were quite knowledgeable about the subject, others looked surprised hearing that a culture they know as normal should be stopped.

Some students met us afterwards asking what they could do since they had been cut. This is one issue several women and girls usually keep quiet about. Girls are thankfully becoming bolder to confront these issues and everyone needs to do more to support them. The results are starting to show albeit slowly, so on this day of the International Day of the Girl child, we are calling on everyone to lend their voice to the campaign against FGM in our generation.
