Campaign Story
 In Nigeria, sexual abuse remains one of the most underreported and culturally silenced crimes. Survivors—especially girls and women—are often blamed, shamed, or ignored. Wankwase is a dance project rooted in advocacy. It uses performance to expose the harsh realities of sexual abuse and ignite collective responsibility. This work is built on the lived experiences of women in Gishiri village fct abuja nigeria . Their stories are not isolated; they represent a wider crisis. Wankwase seeks to transform these stories into movement—making the invisible visible, the unheard heard. We aim to challenge harmful cultural norms, educate communities, and empower girls to speak their truth without fear. Your support helps us create a work that doesn’t just raise awareness—it demands accountability, healing, and change.
