🌍 Advocacy is at the heart of our work with local leaders. At Rise Up we believe that: 🔑 Advocacy is the key to tackling some of the world's most pressing gender equity challenges. 🙋🏽♀️ Advocacy is most effective when it is led and/or involves the people most impacted. 🤝Storytelling, alliance building, and community mobilization are components of an effective advocacy strategy.

Our favorite way to celebrate our 15 year anniversary is to share the inspiring stories and wins of the Rise Up Leaders in our global network. Today we want to share Abdullahi Muhammad Yakubu’s story with you! After graduating from university in 2007, Abdullahi started to volunteer at the Youth Society for the Prevention of Infectious Diseases & Social Vices (YOSPIS). He soon became aware of the immense reproductive and maternal health challenges Nigerian women faced daily. In 2014, as a Rise Up Leader and in partnership with YOSPIS, Abdullahi developed a policy framework that unified fragmented guidelines and improved maternal and child health services in Kano State. His advocacy secured free health services for 3 million women and children in Nigeria. Learn more about Abdullahi and other inspiring leaders like him in our 15 year impact report attached below!
