About

I am an applied researcher and policy analyst dedicated to understanding and combating violence against women and girls across peacetime and conflict contexts. My work bridges rigorous academic research and practical policy efforts, transforming knowledge into meaningful social impact.

I bring extensive experience in peacetime VAWG research, policy analysis and practice, working with NGOs, INGOs, civil society organisations, service providers and policymakers to translate evidence to action. Alongside this, my doctoral research examines conflict-related sexual violence during the Nigeria-Biafra War, exploring the possibility that these atrocities were not merely wartime phenomena but rooted in pre-existing gendered power structures introduced during colonial rule.

Across both contexts, I am concerned with how institutions respond to violence, where systems fail survivors, how policy gaps emerge and what evidence-based reforms are needed to prevent harm and ensure accountability. I believe in harnessing research and practice together to create real-world change, challenge entrenched norms, and advance justice for survivors.
