Asking AI to strip, sexualise, or generate explicit images of any person, man or woman, is not a joke or a trend. It's a punishable offence. Hiding behind a screen or a prompt doesn't erase accountability. Misusing technology for sexual exploitation has real legal consequences, including jail time. This space urgently needs firm regulation. Without clear legal prohibitions against such prompts and strict enforcement of those laws, powerful AI tools will continue to be misused in harmful and dangerous ways.

On Wednesday, 29th October 2025, Gender Strategy Advancement International (GSAI) participated in the High-Level Meeting on the Gender-Responsive Review of the 2025 Federal Government Budget and the Launch of the Gender Policy Landscape Analysis, a pivotal forum emphasizing the need to align Nigeria’s fiscal priorities with the real experiences of women and girls. The meeting opened with a moving exhibition showcasing true-life stories that humanized policy gaps, from women with disabilities demanding equal access to justice and healthcare to survivors of gender-based violence still denied justice. These images served as powerful reminders that economic empowerment and inclusion must go beyond rhetoric to action. The 2025 budget analysis revealed an increase in gender-related allocations but raised concerns over vague terminology and tokenistic commitments. Despite progress, systemic inequalities persist, spanning education, employment, political participation, and reproductive health access. As noted by Sharp and Broomhill (1990), “women’s budgets are not separate budgets for women; they are tools to measure how government budgets affect women.” At GSAI, we believe gender-responsive budgeting is not just a governance obligation; it is a moral and economic imperative. Budgets reflect values, priorities, and power. A truly inclusive national budget must invest in justice, access, and opportunity for all, especially women and girls. As advocates for gender justice and accountability, GSAI remains steadfast in amplifying women’s voices in fiscal policy, ensuring that every naira spent builds a Nigeria rooted in equality, dignity, and empowerment. #GSAI #GenderResponsiveBudgeting #JusticeForWomen #BudgetForEquality

At the #NCTownHallSeries, @dorymanze says that more children are slipping into crisis as families struggle, calling for urgent support systems to protect minors. #Apatttownhallongbv #NCTownHallSeries

“There are communities that if a man is supposed to travel, people come in and stitch the woman, the wife, so…she doesn't have an opportunityto be unfaithful...” @dorymanze highlights the harmful gender-based practices still affecting women in parts of Nigeria.

When culture becomes a weapon instead of a shield, who pays the price? 💔 @dorymanze joins JASIRI to discuss how faith, media, and harmful traditions shape the realities of gender violence and what actual change looks like. Showing tomorrow at 10 AM WAT.

Yesterday, 2nd December 2025, Gender Strategy Advancement International (GSAI) joined Invictus Africa and key national stakeholders for the official unveiling of the Womanity Index 2025, a groundbreaking civic-tech tool redefining how Nigeria measures, understands, and responds to gender-based violence (GBV). Representing the Executive Director, Dr. Adaora Onyechere Sydney-Jack, GSAI’s Communications Lead, Khadijat Alkali Godwin, was present at the unveiling to reinforce GSAI’s commitment to data-driven advocacy and gender-responsive governance. The Womanity Index marks a powerful shift from assumptions to evidence-based accountability. For the first time, every state is evaluated using 18 indicators across five essential domains: Laws & Policies Access to Legal Justice Support Services Information & Awareness Budget & Spending This is more than an index; It is a spotlight. A scorecard. A national call to action. For GSAI, the Womanity Index aligns deeply with our mission to strengthen women’s representation, amplify the voices of women and girls, and hold governance systems accountable. Nigeria cannot end GBV without data that reveals the truth, and this tool brings that truth to the center of national dialogue. We commend Invictus Africa for developing a tool that: Holds institutions accountable Drives equitable resource allocation Strengthens advocacy with verifiable data Empowers civil society to demand real change Ensures state governments cannot hide behind silence or fragmented reporting As Nigeria faces increasing forms of digital, emotional, physical, and systemic violence, the Womanity Index arrives as a timely and transformative intervention. GSAI stands ready with partners, policymakers, journalists, creatives, and communities to turn this data into action, reforms, and justice. Because every woman and girl deserves safety. Because policy must be driven by data. Because accountability is the foundation of progress. The Womanity Index is here, and the work to build a safer Nigeria has entered a new chapter. #GSAI #WomanityIndex2025 #InvictusAfrica #EndGBV #DataForJustice #AccountabilityNow #GenderEquality

Thank you @Zikoko_Mag for the recognition.

The conversation on profit, power, and protection is long overdue. We need to rethink how digital spaces function and how policy can protect women and girls while supporting their full participation in the digital economy. Tomorrow, 5th December, In partnership with @LeadingLadiesAF, we will host a panel at our policy event, “Profit, Power, and Protection: Rethinking Online Safety for Women and Girls in the Digital Economy.” Our session, “Women, AI, and Digital Safety: The Cost of Content Creation and Visibility,” will examine how women navigate opportunity and exposure online. As more women build work and influence in digital spaces, the same systems that amplify their voices can heighten their vulnerability. The discussion will explore how visibility, creativity, and new technologies shape both risk and possibility for women. The panel features: -Dorothy Njemanze, (@dorymanze) Executive Director, Dorothy Njemanze Foundation -Isime Esene, (@IsimeEsene) Special Assistant on Media and Communications to the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy (@FMCIDENigeria) -Christina Akintoye, Narrative Practice Lead, Gatefield (@Gatefieldco) -Chigozie Victor, Senior Editor, Zikoko (@ZikokoCitizen) Moderator: Amina Ramallan, Digital Inclusion and Child Online Safety Advocate. Each brings a grounded, informed perspective on digital culture, safety, storytelling, platform dynamics, and policy. In line with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, this conversation is both timely and overdue. The digital spaces we create today will determine who gets to participate and benefit from tomorrow's opportunities. It's time to demand better frameworks for online safety, accountability, and protection. As we mark the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, this discussion underscores a simple truth: digital spaces are not neutral. How they are designed and governed determines who is safe, who is visible, and who benefits. It is time to push for stronger safeguards, clearer accountability, and online environments where women can participate without fear. #DigitalSafety #WomenInTech #AI #ContentCreation #OnlineProtection

@kingkhone4real @NigeriaMFA @officialABAT Speak to the issues.Real lives have been lost and decisive actions need to be taken to ensure EVERYONE is safe.Every group advocating for right things isn’t “Obidients”. Holding leadership accountable is a responsibility to All Nigerians. #LeadershipAsESupposeBe #Nigeria

The message is clear: @officialABAT is working to end terrorism in Nigeria through collaboration with the U.S. government. Nigerian Muslims, who have been the greatest victims of terror, will welcome any effort that brings this menace to an end. This serves as a reminder to some misinformed and senseless Nigerians—particularly the “Obidient” group, who lost the 2023 election and have since resorted to spreading falsehoods and denigrating the country—to desist from such acts and embrace patriotism.

The distance between the president and Nigerians seems to be widening. This issue is serious enough to hear directly from the president. The body language at play is not good for a committed relationship. Who is advising the leadership? #doryspiration #Nigeria #leadership

Everyone should listen to this! Thank you @NewsCentralTV for keeping these important issues on the front burner! #APATT

So, a lady allegedly went to visit a friend who had his friend around. They all had some drinks and she passed out intoxicated, only to wake up to the realization of something that made her uncomfortable. 🧵

There are usually high reports of domestic violence and the need to support fleeing victims. Your support is needed. Cash donations can be sent to Dorothy Njemanze Foundation. 1229187535 Zenith Bank.

Some victims are children and some are adults. All of them are humans. During holidays like this, we usually experience high occurrences of sextortion in homes. There's a lot of sex for food, sex for shelter, sex for sanitary pads, etc.

To those who are yet to, adopting DNF and supporting with personal or corporate social responsibility is a sure way of supporting more victims and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence to access medical, psychosocial or legal support.
