Be inspired by the real-life experiences of individuals who have partnered with Sheroe’s on their journey towards empowerment and equality.
Before I encountered Sheroes, I had a passion for agriculture and a vision to empower other women in my community through it. However, navigating the business landscape as a woman in Northern Nigeria presented significant hurdles – limited access to funding, societal expectations, and a lack of mentorship. The leadership training and networking opportunities provided by Sheroe's were transformative. They equipped me with the skills and confidence to secure funding.
Experiencing gender-based violence leaves you feeling isolated and voiceless. When I reached out to Sheroe's after a traumatic experience, I found not only a safe space but also unwavering support. Their legal aid services helped me understand my rights and pursue justice. The counseling sessions provided the emotional healing I desperately needed. But more than that, Sheroe's empowered me to become an advocate myself.
Sheroes approach is different and refreshing. They actively engage men and boys in conversations about challenging harmful traditional norms and promoting respectful relationships. As a teacher and community leader, the workshops and resources they provided have been invaluable in helping me educate young boys about gender equality and the importance of respecting women and girls.
Working in policy, I often saw a significant gap in the representation and consideration of women's perspectives. Sheroe's plays a crucial role in bridging this gap. They conduct rigorous research, advocate for gender-sensitive legislation, and provide platforms for women to engage directly with policymakers. Their work on women in leadership has been particularly impactful in ensuring that women's voices are heard.
