Who we are?
CWSI was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in 1999 (CAC No: 12045). CWSI has consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council—ECOSOC and in affiliation with the Department of Global Communications at the United Nations.
Through advocacy, capacity building, awareness raising and sensitization, research and documentation, partnership and paralegal engagements, we advocate for good governance, economic, political and socio-cultural rights.
What We do
CWSI addresses issues such as gender-based violence, poverty, reproductive health, and women’s participation in governance. By offering training, counseling, and legal support, the organization works to improve the socio-economic conditions of women and foster a more equitable society.
Human Rights/Gender Equality
CWSI’s Human Rights/ gender training have created the needed awareness to the women and girls in particular on their rights and responsibilities as human beings and citizens, empowering them to speak out for themselves.
Human Rights & Governance
Although, 35% affirmative action in leadership has been adopted, the number of women in decision making positions have continued to decrease rather than increase. In this area, CWSI is working assiduously towards a change in the gross under-representation of women both in elective and appointive positions.
International NGOs Partnership
Partnership with international NGOs is based on CWSI’s interest which is aligned with her vision. At the point of engagement, CWSI share expertise and useful information to support each other based on comparative advantage.

We have achieved results that constantly motivates us to give in our best.
