Summary
NFM is partnering with The Girls' Pride Initiative to amplify menstrual health advocacy and promote gender equality. The collaboration includes media support for the Red Flag Conference and shared efforts to challenge stigma and empower girls.
Naija Feminists Media (NFM) is partnering with The Girls’ Pride Initiative for Sustainable Development to strengthen menstrual health advocacy and promote gender equality. This collaboration coincides with Menstrual Hygiene Day and reflects a shared commitment to ending period shame and empowering girls across communities.
The Girls’ Pride Initiative is a non-profit organisation empowering girls and women through education, advocacy, and sustainable development programmes. As part of the partnership, NFM will serve as the official media partner for the Initiative’s annual Red Flag Conference, which centres on menstrual health and hygiene. In addition, NFM will amplify the organisation’s projects and campaigns through multimedia content and social media.
This partnership aims to break the silence around menstruation and redefine it as a natural, dignified experience that should be supported with proper education and care. The shared mission aligns with NFM’s vision of challenging systemic oppression and advancing women’s rights through media and grassroots activism.
Speaking on the collaboration, Ayobami Borisade, Executive Director of The Girls Pride Initiative for Sustainable Development, described the partnership as a powerful step forward in amplifying menstrual health advocacy and advancing gender equality across communities.
“At Girls Pride Initiative, we are excited to collaborate with a platform that boldly tells stories, challenges stigma, and champions the rights and dignity of girls and women,” she said. “Together, we are not just normalising menstruation—we are transforming narratives and building a more inclusive future.”
Ayobami will also speak at NFM’s X space on Menstrual Hygiene Day, joining other stakeholders in sharing their knowledge on normalising menstruation in Nigerian communities.
