But freedom also requires support. Survivors will need funds for release, psychosocial care, education, and livelihoods. Every support moves another woman closer to freedom. #EndMoneyWoman #LeaveNoOneBehind @FordFoundation @otiveigbuzor @mon_osasah2003 @VincentDania

For years, some girls in Becheve were married off under a harmful practice known as “Money Woman.” Six years after its abolition, traditional leaders have now agreed on a pathway to free the remaining survivors #EndHarmfulPractices #FreedomForWomen #CentreLSD @FordFoundation

It’s a major step forward, one that reflects a community confronting its past and choosing a more just future for its daughters. #EndHarmfulPractices #FreedomForWomen @FordFoundation @otiveigbuzor @mon_osasah2003 @VincentDania @unwomenNG @MalalaFund @LawalAmodu1

After hours of deliberation, the Traditional Council reached a resolution: ₦100,000 will be paid to the husbands of “Money Women” who wish to leave their marriages, securing their freedom. #EndHarmfulPractices #FreedomForWomen @FordFoundation @otiveigbuzor @mon_osasah2003
