Meet the Feminist Coalition Nigeria

During the #EndSARS protests, a team of women amazed every one of us with how quickly they were able to raise N147.86 million in two just two weeks.
This team is the Feminist Coalition which was founded in July 2020 by a group of Nigerian women with a primary mission: to champion equality for women in Nigerian society with a core focus on education, financial freedom and representation in public office.
Driven by their vision to see a Nigeria where equality for all is a reality in our laws and everyday life, their work is synonymous with youth emancipation and the struggle for freedom.

Although created to push gender equality in Nigeria, the coalition supported wholeheartedly the movement against police brutality through fundraising for the sustenance of peace during the protests and to ensure the safety of everyone exercising their constitutional rights by helping them with food, water, masks, medical aid, security, information, and legal aid.

All funds to the group towards the #EndSARS protests (which has been stopped anyway) were raised through the generosity of well-meaning people and concerned Nigerians who want their voices to be heard and their demands to be met.

The coalition defied odds ranging from their accounts being frozen and an alleged restriction on some of the accounts of the donors and at the end of the day received funds in US dollars, Canadian dollars, Euro, Ghana cedis, Kenyan shilling, and Bitcoin.
In full support of the #EndSARS protests, the feminist coalition made their platform a resource base for everyone protesting across Nigeria and went on to be extremely transparent and accountable for every penny that was raised.
