Zenith Bank Supports Women in Benue IDP Camps

Zenith Bank PLC has launched the Protect Dignity Female Project in partnership with the Marymin Mother's Care Initiative Network (MMCIN) to support women and girls living in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in Benue State, Nigeria. The initiative addresses critical issues such as menstrual hygiene management and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) amidst the challenges faced by displaced individuals.

Many women and girls in these camps struggle with limited access to basic healthcare and sanitary products, which heightens their vulnerability to abuse and exploitation. The project aims to provide essential menstrual hygiene materials and educate women and girls on reproductive health, empowering them to speak against abuse and seek help without fear of stigma.

This intervention aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those focused on good health, gender equality, and reducing inequalities. Zenith Bank's commitment to corporate social responsibility is evident in its efforts to improve the lives of vulnerable communities and create safer environments for women.
