This case study compendium by the Women’s Rights Advancement and Protection Alternative (WRAPA) documents real-life interventions addressing Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) within Islamic legal and faith-based contexts in Northern Nigeria.
Drawing from six in-depth case studies across multiple states, the research demonstrates how Islamic principles of justice, dignity, compassion, and non-harm can be applied through Shari’a courts, faith leaders, and civil society partnerships to deliver survivor-centred protection and accountability.
The compendium provides practical guidance, replication tools, and step-by-step intervention pathways for organisations seeking sustainable, locally grounded solutions to VAWG.
Compassion and protection are not external to Islam, they are central to it.
