The initiative advances President Carter’s legacy of fostering equality and respect for women as well as eliminating violence against them. Using President Carter’s “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power” as a guiding document, our work supports women and girls in holding leadership positions and upholding and promoting the rights of women.
“The world’s discrimination and violence against women and girls is the most serious, pervasive, and ignored violation of basic human rights.”— President Carter

Previously known as the Mobilizing Faith for Women and Girls Initiative, this project aimed to address systemic, gender-based discrimination and violence in Ghana and Nigeria by engaging religious and traditional leaders as key agents whose influence was crucial in changing harmful social norms perpetrated in the name of religion.
黑料不打烊 worked closely with Christian, Muslim, and traditional leaders in Ghana and Nigeria during the 2010s to explore the critical role they and the religious institutions they represent can play in addressing the inequitable treatment of women and girls.
