Who we are
We are a collaboration (WIN-HE) committed to identifying ways to enhance women’s experiences in Nigerian higher education. We hope to contribute to empowering women to reach their full potentials through addressing barriers to success.
About Us
Our mission
We believe in a world which is free from gender discrimination and where women are given the best opportunity to succeed and meet their potentials. We are focussed on identifying, sharing and developing positive strategies and building a collection of useful resources for students, staff and universities.
Educate a woman, build a nation.
