Who We Are
Fifes Foundation for Women and Children's Rights Protection is a Nigerian feminist organisation based in Ipaja, Lagos. We are not-for-profit and non-political, and were registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in December 2025.
Advancing Rights.
Building Equal Societies.
We advance the rights and wellbeing of women, girls and children, with a focus on what decides whether rights hold in everyday life: access to healthcare, safety, justice, education, economic resources and a say in decisions.
We bring together direct support, community-grounded research, legal and policy advocacy and capacity building, working with communities and institutions to close the gap between rights on paper and rights in practice.
Women, girls and children
Rights on paper into rights in practice
Communities and institutions
Safe. Heard. Protected.
Our Vision
Women, girls and children in Nigeria live in dignity, equality and safety, and take part in the decisions that affect them.
Our Mission
To promote access to healthcare and uphold the human rights of women and children in Nigeria through free legal support, health and counselling services, community outreach, and feminist, evidence-based advocacy for better laws and policies.
Safety first: Nothing we do should leave a person at greater risk.
Confidentiality: What people tell us stays with us, within the limits we explain at the start.
Dignity and choice: We treat women and children as rights holders and act with their agreement.
Inclusion: We design our work to reach persons with disabilities and others who are usually left out.
Accountability: We publish how we are governed, what we spend and what we achieve.
Our Feminist Approach
Feminist analysis helps us look past individual cases to the power, resources and decisions behind them. We ask whose knowledge counts, whose rights are restricted, who benefits from the way things are, and what needs to change. In practice, this means we:
Centre the knowledge and choices of women and girls, and treat children as rights holders whose views matter.
Look at how gender combines with age, disability, poverty, class and location to shape people's lives.
Let affected communities help set our priorities.
Hold institutions to the human rights standards they are bound by.
Our Objectives
Promote access to healthcare and uphold human rights for women and children through advocacy, free legal support and community-based health programmes.
Offer basic healthcare, counselling, free legal aid and empowerment programmes for women, children, persons with disabilities and other underserved groups.
Advocate on health and human rights issues affecting these groups, with a focus on stronger policies and legal protections.
Run community outreach and mobile health services that bring free health education and preventive care to underserved areas.
