Nigeria’s first discussion series on sexual rights set to go on air

The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERs) is set to launch Untold Facts, a ground breaking discussion series focusing on sexual health and rights in Nigeria. The show will clarify myths and clear up misconceptions around sexual orientation and gender identity.

The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERs) is a Nigeria-based registered non-for-profit organisation working to protect and promote the human rights of sexual minorities nationally and regionally.  We’re committed to bringing about a society that is free from discrimination and harm on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.  We work towards this goal through education, empowerment and engagement with the many publics in Nigeria.  We were founded in 2005 as a response to the discrimination and marginalisation of sexual minorities in both HIV prevention programming and mainstream human rights work.  We currently have 11 full time members of staff and over 50 volunteers peer educators.
