The Nigerian Women Trust Fund (NWTF) in collaboration with Sound Sense Deaf Empowerment Initiative (SSDEI), National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), held a capacity building for some of the students of the Government Secondary School, Kuje, Abuja, Nigeria, on Digital Privacy and Preventing Digital Violence as part of the 2025 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence in the school hall on 27 November 2025.
The event aimed to ensure inclusion of PWD’s in the 16 Days of Activism programming and advocacy, hence the choice of a Special School for the deaf and hearing students and strategic partners like NCC and NITDA in Abuja, as IT and digital regulatory agencies.
Key stakeholders including parents graced the occasion.
Both the deaf amd hearing students showed certain level of knowledge impact during the capacity building as they expressed knowledge gained on different aspects of digital literacy.
The CEO of the Nigerian Women Trust Fund, Ms. Brenda Anugwom in her remarks said, tchnology should open doors, not create new barriers. Yet many young women and girls with disabilities face double discrimination online targeted harassment, cyberbullying, exclusion, and abuse simply because of who they are.
“Digital violence is not just online. It affects mental health, confidence, education, and safety. But today, We choose unity.
Ttoday, as we mark the 16 Days of Activism, we raise our voices against a growing and urgent threat digital violence against women and girls to say NO to digital violence against all women and girls including those of us living with disabilities.
Let us build a world where every student, every girl, and every young woman can learn, lead, and shine without fear.”
It’s nice one to help the youth grow
