Behind every number is a woman, a family and a community that has lost someone who mattered. Gender-based violence is not a private matter. It is a crisis that affects our health, our safety and the future of our children.

  • Volunteers sensitising a mother and her children on gender-based violence
  • A Belosy Africa volunteer speaking with women at their home
  • A volunteer explaining the GBV and mental health banner to a community member

Our team is sensitising communities to prevent gender-based violence. Going door to door and speaking with women, men and young people in their own neighbourhoods, our volunteers explain what GBV is, how it affects mental health, how to recognise the warning signs and where to get help.

Wetin you dey feel, e dey matter. You no dey alone. — the message our volunteers carry into every community.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, call or WhatsApp our hotline on +237 674 459 207. Every conversation is confidential.
