What We Do
At the core of everything we do is the sacrosanct mission to free women, children and vulnerable people from violence, abuse and exploitation. We achieve this through impactful programs and initiatives.
Research & Technology
We leverage data, technology, and advocacy to combat femicide and gender-based violence in Nigeria
Data Analysis & Visualization
We collect, analyze, and transform femicide and gender-based violence data into clear, compelling visual insights. Through dashboards, reports, and mapping tools, we make patterns of violence visible and actionable for stakeholders, policymakers, and the public.
Trend Prediction & Early Warning Systems
Using data-driven models, we identify emerging trends, risk factors, and high-risk environments. Our predictive insights support early intervention strategies aimed at preventing violence before it escalates to femicide.
Policy Research & Government Advisory
We translate evidence into action by developing policy recommendations for government institutions. Our work supports the design of laws, national frameworks, and response systems that address gaps in femicide prevention and survivor protection.
Technology for Femicide Prevention & Protection
We design and deploy innovative tech solutions - digital reporting platforms, risk assessment tools, and survivor-centered applications - to prevent gender-related violent killings and improve response mechanisms.
Our Programs
We facilitate numerous programmes and initiatives to end SGBV and inequality
Community Sensitisation
We facilitate educational programmes on sexual and gender-based violence to help women, girls and vulnerable people acquire the requisite skills to thrive economically and escape all forms of economic abuse.
Orphans & Vulnerable Children Care
Rescue & referral of endangered children. We are first respondents in many communities through our mandated reporters and community gatekeepers, facilitating placement in government approved shelters and orphanages.
Digital Advocacy & Bibliotherapy
Educational advocacy campaigns. One community at a time, we partner with stakeholders to evangelise about abuse cases like SGBV and bring an end to these deadly scourges. Listen to the DOHS Podcast.
Women Empowerment
Empowerment & trainings for women. We foster conversations that promote women's rights and have measures in place to defend those rights and break the vicious circle of abuse against women at home and in society.
Femicide Observatory
Monitoring female killings. We gather past and recent data on the killing of females by intimate partners to help constitute a sustainable model for intervention and prevention of femicide cases.
Missing Women & Girls Watch
Tracking lost women & girls. We track and amplify these cases to raise timely alerts, push for urgent intervention, and prevent them from escalating into fatal outcomes.
