Initiative for Girl's Rights and Health Development

The Initiative for Girl's Rights and Health Development (IGRHD) is a Nigerian non-governmental organization headquartered in Ile-Ife, Osun State. It works to promote reproductive rights education and to weaken harmful practices affecting the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of girls and women. The organization describes itself as a growing network of young professionals with expertise in civic leadership, media, public speaking, administration, community mobilization, instructional learning design, monitoring and evaluation, qualitative research, and project management. IGRHD's vision is a world where every young woman is fully aware of her sexual and reproductive rights and is not denied the chance to make informed decisions about them because of unfavorable social norms or harmful cultural practices. Its mission is to promote reproductive rights education and weaken harmful practices affecting the SRHR of girls and women. The organization has set an organizational mandate to help at least 5,000,000 young women make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and rights by 2030. While headquartered in Ile-Ife, Osun State, IGRHD has implemented projects across South West Nigeria in low-resourced and marginalized communities such as Edunabon, Wanikin, and Ilesha. Its thematic focus areas include community dialogues and engagements to end female genital mutilation (FGM) and forms of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), as well as media campaigns to end FGM and SGBV. The organization reports impact and reach of over 150 million through TV and radio programs, over 1 million through social media platforms, 12 communities, over 20,000 direct reach, and 35 schools. Its core values are impact consciousness, resilience, excellence, and selflessness.
