CODE- Project SABI Connected Development and Boys Quarter Africa through the Project SABI Initiative seeks to stimulate a nation-wide movement aimed at ending all forms of violence against Women and Girls, by capacity strengthening strategic and multi-dimensional engagement lead byMen and Boys as advocates.

Project Sabi through a grassroots engagement approach with Men and Boys will directly impact and empower victims, young people across the project states, with necessary information on their roles as responders, diverse communication and reporting channels, and the need to mobilize mass voices to collectively speak out against this act. This practical cum solutions-driven project would be broken into SABI Town Hall for Men and Consent Concert for Boys.

The specific objectives of the project include:


To strengthen the capacity of 1000 men and 1000 boys as ‘he-for-she’ champions to lead strategic advocacy and multi-dimensional stakeholders engagement against gender-based violence in Nigeria, through a week-longclustered <(>&<)> specialized training program.

To provide a safe space for women, girls, and victims of gender-based violence to interact on the effective psychosocial support system, by thoroughly teaching 1,000 men and 1000 Boys about positive masculinity, response to gender-based violence, inclusive fatherhood, caregiving, mental health, and trauma, and domestic violence and also teaching boys on the nitty-gritty of consent, violence against women and girls, and how both Men and Boys can work on ending these varying violence.

To mobilize and create a social construct platform where men and boys are assisted to confront the age-long and culturally inherited biases via a specialized ConsentConcert for Boys and focused SABI Townhall for Men, in addressing issues like anger management, social adjustment, conflict resolution, emotional stability, and consent,  in order to create an equal and safe society, where tangible results are experienced in the immediate.

Curate an engaging and educating digitalsocial platform where Men and Boys can unpack their misogynist level and tendencies, hence, galvanizing them as major allies and change agents in the reporting and speaking up against sexual and gender-based violence, which in turn drastically reduces the race of violence against women and girl.

CODE and Boys Quarters through our effective mobilization and stakeholders engagement approach would ensure an increasingly growing number of men who will acknowledge and understand how sexism, male dominance,and male privilege lay the foundation for all forms of violence against women and girls. Through the SABI Community Town-Hall for Men, there would be a careful examination and challenge of their individual sexism and the role every man subtly plays in aiding other abusive men.

This project will also help recognize and stop the intended and non-intending collusion with other less-knowledgeable men; by helping them get out of the inherited socially defined roles that are harmful, and taking a veritable stand to end violence against women and girls. In educating and re-educating Men and Boys about their responsibility in ending this menace, it helps them get out of their socially defined role and taking a strong stance in the fight against all forms of violence against women and girls.

This project targets an engagement of 1,000 Men and 1,000 Boys within 20 Months.
