How a Nigerien dad is advocating for gender equality in displaced communities
Boubacar Tahirou has experienced both unimaginable loss and remarkable transformation in his 45 years. Originally from Adab-dab, a village in Niger, bandit violence forced him to flee his peaceful farming life and start anew amid displacement. In addition to rebuilding his own life, Boubacar currently serves as a leader of an EMAP (Engaging Men in Accountable Practices) program — educating and engaging the men in his community in protecting women and girls from gender-based violence.
