From Local Advocate to Global Leader: Favour Ajagbe’s Impact Through She Stands Academy

Favour Adetoro Ajagbe, an 18-year-old student of Delta State University (DELSU), is making waves with her advocacy efforts through the Woman In You (WIN) Initiative, aimed at combating domestic violence against women

As a first-year Biochemistry student, Favour has taken on leadership and advocacy roles beyond her age, showing immense dedication to her cause.

Journey as a She Stands Ambassador

In 2017, Favour was one of the standout participants selected as a She Stands Ambassador from over 50 female candidates representing 20 secondary schools in a pitching competition organized by the Rural Development and Reformation Foundation (RUDERF). Her proposal, titled “Discuss a Global Challenge Facing Women, Proffer Possible Solutions, and Share Your Passion for Advocacy,” highlighted her passion for addressing domestic abuse, leading to her selection as one of the top 7 ambassadors.

Following her selection, Favour attended a 3-day leadership boot camp designed to equip the She Stands Ambassadors with the skills to launch impactful advocacy projects. It was at this camp that her WIN Initiative was conceptualized, focusing on raising awareness about domestic violence through seminars, campaigns, and community outreach programs.

Impact and Achievements

Favour has since organized multiple events and activities under the WIN Initiative banner, impacting over 1,000 secondary school students across the Niger-Delta region through seminars, drama presentations, and interactive sessions. Her outreach has extended beyond students to directly support 20+ women affected by domestic abuse, offering them a platform to share their stories and seek help.

Her efforts were recognized when she was awarded the Most Outstanding and Innovative She Stands Ambassador in 2018. In 2019, her work caught international attention, leading to her selection as a delegate for the prestigious Global Engagement Summit  in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

A Rising Change Maker

Favour’s drive to end domestic violence has seen her continue to launch inspiring initiatives and establish platforms that amplify women’s voices in her community. Her passion for advocacy and leadership in championing women’s rights make her a formidable ambassador for change, both locally and globally.

RUDERF is proud of Favour Ajagbe’s achievements and her ongoing efforts to create a safer world for women. Her journey is a testament to the power of young leaders in driving social change.
