For 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, the annual global initiative that calls for the end to violence against women and girls, UNFPA collaborated with documentary photographer and visual artist Etinosa Yvonne on multimedia storytelling project "Unheard Voices From Nigeria" launching today, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
The Abuja-based Etinosa interviewed, photographed, and filmed 16 women in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in northeastern Nigeria, a region afflicted by insurgent groups that have forced millions to flee their homes. For too long, the stories of these women—child marriage, domestic abuse, abduction and rape—have gone untold. Breaking the silence starts now.
Each day, one woman's story will be released. The campaign runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day.
