STORYTELLING FOR PUPILS

Participants are drawn from children directly impacted by ethnic and religious violence. We create a platform where these children earn from shared experiences, to encourage them to use their past to make a better future for themselves and others.

ADVOCACIES

The first assignment WOWWI embarked upon was several advocacy visits to all the major stakeholders on the Plateau starting with Youths in volatile communities popularly known as ‘flash points’ or ‘no go areas’ in both Christian and Moslem communities; opening dialogues and engaging them to shun all forms of violence and seek peace.

DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS

As a follow-up to the advocacy visits made to volatile communities, WOWWI discovered communities that have grievances with Government over perceived neglect and marginalization. WOWWI then embarked on some developmental projects to address some key drivers of violence such as unequal access to basic necessities and infrastructure.

ESTABLISHMENT

The impact of these protests was huge as it brought to the forefront the power of women’s voices and created an opportunity for an organized platform for women to play an active role in peace building.

The aftermath of these historical events led to a decision to join forces together by the two protest groups.

NEW LIFE WOMEN PROJECT

Realizing the hazards of alcohol and drug abuse to the social, physical and mental health of youths and society at large, and its contribution to the ethno-religious violence in Jos, Women Without Walls Initiative undertook a drastic step in stemming its tide in the society.

PEACE CARNIVAL

Partnering with Apurimac Nigeria under an EU sponsored project, WOWWI has organized a peace carnival and a story telling event for school pupils in Barkin Ladi Plateau State. The Peace Carnival was a huge success as it brought a joyous atmosphere apart from the war environment they were used to.

PROJECT COMMON BOND

In collaboration with Tuesday’s Children New York, teenage girls who were victims of violent conflict attend an annual Trauma Healing Program in the United States tagged ‘Project Common Bond’ under the platform of WOWWI
