​In the heart of the African savanna, the baobab tree stands not just as a plant, but as a
living monument of life and defiance. It is a symbol of immense resilience, survival, and
nourishment in the face of daunting adversity.

Drawing its name and spirit from this majestic sentinel, Baobab for Women's Human
Rights (BAOBAB) is a Nigerian feminist organization on a mission to transform the very
foundations of society for women and girls. BAOBAB's work mirrors the baobabs form:
the deep roots symbolize the foundational research and capacity-building that anchor its
efforts; the expansive, far-reaching branches represent its collaborative networks and
broad advocacy; and the life-giving fruit of the tree-the tangible results of its
work—nourishes and empowers women, ensuring their rights are not merely written but
lived. A testament to this widespread influence, BAOBAB's grassroots efforts are
powered by a dedicated network of volunteers across all six of Nigeria's geo-political
zones.
