Blessing Okojie Eze is the founder and executive director of the Women of Inestimable Value Foundation based in Nigeria. The organization works to raise awareness for abuse against women and girls, providing sexual health and women’s empowerment education. Her inspiration and passion comes from her experiences witnessing domestic violence in Nigeria and how it is often justified, even by women, as part of the culture. Blessing and her foundation work to change that mentality and show how valuable and capable women and girls are in every community. She has won many awards in the field and was named one of the top 100 women making an impact in Africa. She is also the author of two books, one providing support and information around rape and sexual violence that the foundation distributes to schools. Blessing and the Women of Inestimable Value Foundation have made important strides in educating communities around sexual violence against women and girls and women’s empowerment in Nigeria and Africa.
