Mothers And Marginalised Advocacy Centre
We fight for women, girls and vulnerable groups who have nowhere else to turn
MAMA Centre delivers legal defence, economic empowerment and confidential reporting to women, girls and marginalized populations across Nigeria.
Who we are
Protection doesn't work as a single program
Violence against women doesn’t arrive through one door, so we don’t answer it through one door either. Legal representatives pursue litigation in all six geo-political zones. Girls Hub gives survivors a direct line to report harm. Financial literacy training and CBN-backed lending turn vulnerable women into business owners. And our policy team sits with the legislators who write the laws that either protect these women or fail them.
