Defending Rights. Restoring Dignity. Driving Change.

At Taiye Olayemi Networks for Human Rights (TONHR), we provide holistic support for survivors of gender-based violence and displacement while fighting for systemic policy reform.

Who We Are

TONHR is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering survivors of abuse, particularly those affected by gender-based violence and displacement. We utilize an intersectional approach combining technology, research, and advocacy to uncover human rights violations and drive systemic change across Nigeria.

Our Mission

To empower survivors of abuse through counselling, legal aid, and rehabilitation programs; advocate for policy reform that ensures justice, equality, and resources for survivors; enhance the capacity of individuals and communities to address human rights abuses; and foster collaboration with other NGOs, governmental organizations, and international bodies working in the field of human rights.

Our Vision

A world where survivors of abuse, especially those affected by gender-based violence and displacement, are empowered, supported, enjoy equal rights, and social justice and are free from human rights abuses.

Championing Justice, Empowering Communities

We are a dynamic advocacy and development organization committed to advancing human rights, social justice, and holistic empowerment; through grassroots interventions that bridge the gap between marginalized communities and accessible justice. As a mission-driven organization, we recognize that civic engagement, active citizenship, and inclusive policies are critical to building an equitable and sustainable society.

Our innovative programmatic thrusts, spanning from disability rights advocacy to leveraging civic technology for social accountability, inspire individuals to demand ethical governance and motivate communities to drive positive change. By equipping citizens to defend their rights and supporting systemic reforms, we build the crucial structures needed for lasting equity, thereby contributing to national development and a society where everyone can thrive.
