First Safe Space Monthly Meeting on Family Planning (17th January 2023)

The Reclaim Your Future project took a monumental step on the 17th of January 2023, with its first Safe Space Monthly Meeting focused on family planning. This session provided a secure, open environment for women to discuss their reproductive health, guided by experts from the Ikotun Primary Health Centre’s Family Planning Department. Through these culturally sensitive workshops, women received educational materials that enabled them to make informed decisions about family planning, an essential part of securing a brighter future for their children.

One story of resilience and transformation is that of Mrs. Kehinde Richard, a widow grappling with the pressures of raising children alone. Mrs. Richard found not only the practical knowledge needed to plan her family but also the emotional support to persevere through her struggles. “These meetings have given me hope,” she shared, highlighting how the safe space meeting became a tool of empowerment and a source of stability for her family.

This meeting laid the foundation for future Safe Space gatherings, each designed to offer emotional solace, knowledge-sharing, and a sense of community among women navigating similar challenges
