This case study compendium documents emerging, community-driven strategies for preventing Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) across Nigeria.
Drawing from six impactful case studies across Kebbi, Plateau, Kaduna, Kogi, Jigawa, and Zamfara States, the publication highlights how faith leaders, traditional rulers, male allies, survivors, civil society organisations, and government institutions are reshaping harmful norms from within cultural and religious structures.
The cases demonstrate practical models for prevention, survivor-centred response, legal reform implementation (including the VAPP Law), and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Together, they show that sustainable VAWG prevention is possible when communities take ownership, institutions enforce laws with compassion, and survivors are placed at the centre of solutions.
