PIND through its Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) filter on the online Peace Map platform, tracks and reports violence affecting women and girls across all aspects of human security in the Niger Delta. Data from the VAWG observatory have helped in significant ways to break the culture of silence and increase the level of reporting and awareness on issues of violence affecting women and girls. The VAWG information helps to inform policy advocacy and decision making by government, security agencies, private sector and development organizations and to influence interventions in specific or key thematic drivers of VAWG/Gender Based Violence (GBV).
