dc.descriptionThe Global Feminisms Project (https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/globalfeminisms/) is a collaborative international oral history project that examines the history of feminist activism, women's movements, and academic women's studies in sites around the world.

She received an LLM from the Notre Dame School of Law in the US and a PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London where she specialized in women’s peace and security studies.

She is on the board of West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) and the Nigerian Women's Trust Fund. WANEP is a regional peacebuilding organization established in 1998 in response to civil wars in WestAfrica, while Women’s Trust Fund was founded to address the problem of underrepresentation of women in governance and gender inequality, more generally.
