Women Too Africa Foundation (WTA) is seeking a Feminist Legal Consultant to support the implementation of our Breaking Impunity Project.
We are looking for a feminist legal practitioner who understands that behind every enforcement gap, every dismissed case, and every unprosecuted femicide is a woman whose life and dignity deserved better from the institutions designed to protect her.
The consultant will lead two foundational streams of work to develop our Shadow Evidence Brief.
The first is a comprehensive desk review and legal analysis of VAPP Act enforcement records across Oyo, Osun, and Ogun States, examining court records, prosecution data, state ministry documentation, and civil society reporting to map exactly where the law is failing, how it is failing, and who is allowing it to fail.
The second is the documentation and legal validation of community-level testimonies gathered directly from survivors and frontline women defenders across purposively selected communities in our three target states. These testimonies are not supplementary material. They are the human evidence that transforms a legal brief from a policy document into an accountability instrument, placing the patterns, and institutional failures behind the statistics before the Oyo State House of Assembly and the judiciary.
The consultant will work with WTA's Program team to ensure every testimony is legally framed, carefully anonymised, and ethically handled in full accordance with our survivor protection protocol.
If you have a legal qualification, a demonstrated feminist analytical lens, solid knowledge of the VAPP Act and its enforcement landscape in Southwest Nigeria, and experience producing evidence-based legal briefs or legislative submissions for civil society bodies, we want to hear from you.
