Every year, W.TEC proudly supports the global 16 Days of Activism campaign through its Staying Safe Online workshop series for girls across Nigeria. In 2024, our reach expanded through meaningful collaborations with corporate allies in Lagos and dedicated sessions held for girls in Kwara and Ondo.
One of the most impactful sessions took place at Ilorin Grammar School, where W.TEC staff member Epi-Jumbo Gladys facilitated an engaging workshop for 82 girls. The session equipped students with vital knowledge on understanding gender-based violence, cybersecurity essentials, and practical online safety skills to protect themselves in today’s digital world.
Reflecting on the experience, Gladys shared:
“I had the privilege of leading this session with 82 brilliant girls, and their curiosity was truly inspiring. Every opportunity to guide and empower girls reminds me why this work matters. When girls are informed and confident, communities become safer and stronger.”
Through conversations, hands-on learning, and open dialogue, the girls gained clearer insights into personal safety—both online and offline—reinforcing W.TEC’s mission to build a generation of digitally confident, empowered young women.
As the 16 Days of Activism continues to spark change worldwide, W.TEC remains committed to creating safe, informed spaces where girls learn, lead, and thrive.
