iTakeActions is a civic action and digital empowerment platform for Nigerian girls. When you learn about important issues, speak up in conversations, and take action in your community, you help create safer, stronger and more inclusive spaces for girls and young women.

Explore simple guides, tools and short self-paced online courses that help you understand key issues, your rights, digital safety and how young people can influence change.
Join Voices at the Table — our periodic civic assemblies where girls share ideas, speak on issues affecting them and contribute to community-focused discussions.
Take part in challenges, submit creative ideas and lead small school or community activities that promote safety, respect and positive change.
Youth-Led Education Initiative
Empowering Education, One School at a Time!
To celebrate the International Day of Education, we are calling on young ladies to step forward and make a difference in their communities. The Youth EdUp Challenge invites you to submit a project proposal showing how you would use ₦50,000 to transform a school in your community (public schools only).
From being followed in markets to being silenced in classrooms, girls face risks every day. We want your voice. Share your story and ideas for making our communities safer for girls and young women.
Host a Girls' Dialogue Circle in your school, street, church, or market area. Talk about safety, rights, and leadership for girls. This is an open and ongoing challenge designed to help girls take the lead in their own spaces—any time, anywhere.
Real stories, real voices. Because your experiences matter.

Trusting her instincts, she exited the vehicle early and prioritised her safety, even at a cost. Her story reminds us how young women constantly navigate unsafe public spaces.
