Project Name: Safe Lines/Secure Future for Victims of School Abduction—Translated into French, Hausa/Kanuri
Project location: Conflict-affected states in Nigeria, Niger, and Cameroon.
Project description: This project aims to provide psychosocial support and long-term assistance to victims of school abductions who have been traumatised out of school in northern Nigeria. Over 1000 children were abducted from schools in Nigeria between 2014 to 2018, according to UNICEF, and we have spoken to a fair sample across various regions.
Project Name: Knifar Women’s Resilience and Reintegration Project
Project location: Borno, northeast Nigeria
Project description: The HumAngle Media Foundation launched the Knifar Women Resilience and Reintegration Project to assist women in Borno State, Northeast Nigeria, whose male relatives were arbitrarily detained during the height of the Boko Haram insurgency and held in military detention for up to eight years without trial. These women, known collectively as the Knifar Women, have endured prolonged hardship—economically, socially, and emotionally—as a result of their husbands’ absence and eventual return, with many still deeply traumatised and unable to fully reintegrate.
