Raising Her Voice Strengthening National Legislation, Budgeting and Implementation of AU Protocol Brochure

The 'Raising Her Voice Project' (RHV) is a portfolio of projects in 17 countries across the world and focuses on improving governance and transparency by recognizing and increasing the significant contribution poor women can make to public life and in promoting their own rights. The project employs four approaches to reach its objectives: networking, lobbying and advocacy with poor women activists; working with public/traditional institutions and decision making forums; empowering and building capacity of CSOs.

In Africa, RHV project is being implemented in 8 countries including Nigeria with the same goal of strengthening national legislation, adequate budgeting and implementation of the AU Protocol on the Rights of Women through community popularization and advocacy activities. Oxfam GB is supporting Women's Rights Advancement and Protection Alternative (WRAPA) to work with the African Union, (AU) the Nigerian Government and CSOs in Nigeria to ultimately enable the domestication of the Protocol in Nigeria by 2012.
