Obodo is a youth-led nonprofit empowering queer leaders in Nigeria. In Igbo, Obodo implies a people who have existed together since time immemorial having helped each other in times of great hardship and shared joy in periods of triumph. We strive to create this sense of belonging for those in our community. Our youth-led organization focuses on LGBTQI+ rights and education in Nigeria through art, tech, direct outreach, and public campaigns.
Obodo Centre for Advocacy and Equal Rights invites LBTQ women writers, researchers, and activist-scholars to join the next cohort of our Law Reform Lab (LRL). We are commissioning research papers and essays that critically interrogate Nigerian human rights jurisprudence through African, queer, and feminist lenses, centering voices historically excluded from legal discourse.
We invite LBTQ women writers, researchers & activist-scholars to contribute papers on:
- Law | Social Justice | Queer & Feminist
- Realities in Nigeria
Selected researchers will contribute to a forthcoming Reader titled: “Rethinking Rights in the Nigerian Constitution: The LGBTQ+ Question.”
Eligibility
- Demonstrated interest/experience in law, human rights, feminist or queer scholarship, or social justice activism
- Commitment to producing a well-researched paper within timelines
