This recognition, presented by Women Health and Equal Rights (WHER), is more than an individual award—it stands as a testament to the courage, resilience, and brilliance of queer persons and other marginalized groups in Nigeria and across Africa who continue to rise despite challenges.

We extend our deep appreciation to the leadership of WHER for their visionary commitment to advancing equality and empowering our communities.

Together, we remain unshakable. Together, we are resilient.

At CHIYN, we are inspired daily by the resilience of queer voices and marginalized persons, and this honor strengthens our collective resolve to continue building safer, more inclusive spaces for all.
