The Initiative For Equal Rights
About The Initiative 4 Equality
About Us
The Initiative 4 Equality is a Nigeria-based registered non-profit organization working to create a society where human rights in Nigeria are guaranteed regardless of status, identity, orientation and affiliation. We exist to protect, uphold and promote the rights and humanity of all Nigerians through advocacy, empowerment, education, and the provision of safe platforms of convergence. We were founded in 2005 as a response to the discrimination and marginalization of sexual minorities and LGBTQ+ community in both HIV prevention programming, human rights protection, advocacy, and mainstream human rights work.
