FEDH FOUNDATION’s ACHIEVEMENTS
GAME CHANGERS: TACKLING HARMFUL PRACTICES IN NIGERIA THROUGH EDUCATIONAL GAMES FOR GIRLS.
In 2024, FEHD Foundation developed an innovative app, GAME CHANGER: SRHR TRIVIA, which features two interactive games: a board game and a card game. These games include questions on critical and sensitive topics such as female genital mutilation (FGM), menstrual hygiene, child/Early marriage, and other SRHR-related issues. The app was successfully launched on the Google Play Store, making it accessible to students across different continents.
Project has been central to our mission of advancing sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) while challenging cultural norms that perpetuate harmful practices. In 2024, we extended our outreach to new communities and mobilized local actors to join the cause.
2024.
Through partnerships with traditional leaders, activists, journalists, and local influencers, we organized workshops that fostered dialogue around topics like menstruation, SRHR, and gender equality. The project engaged over 500 women and adolescents across various communities, equipping them with knowledge and practical tools to advocate for their rights.
