The founder of the foundation, Ololade Ajayi, in a statement made available to Saturday PUNCH on Friday, said the organisation had partnered with a technology-driven initiative, TSM House Agency, to drive digital innovation and advocacy against femicide.
She said the collaboration marked a significant step in leveraging technology, media and advocacy to combat sexual and gender-based violence in the country.
“This collaboration brings together DOHS’ expertise in advocacy, survivor support and research with TSM House Agency’s strengths in digital strategy, design and technology development to build a more responsive, data-driven and accessible ecosystem for prevention, reporting and awareness,” the statement partly read.
Ajayi added that the partnership would be implemented in phases, focusing on strengthening DOHS’ digital infrastructure, expanding awareness campaigns and enhancing tools for tracking and responding to SGBV and femicide cases.
She noted that the initiative would include redesigning the DOHS website to improve accessibility and user experience, developing an SGBV case dashboard for better data tracking and reporting, as well as capacity building through digital safety workshops.
“This partnership is not just about technology; it is about saving lives, amplifying voices and ensuring that women and girls have access to the tools, information and support they need to stay safe and seek justice,” Ajayi said.
