PACOWWEI’s goal is to improve the health and human rights of women and girls across Nigeria. We focus on HIV prevention, maternal health, psychosocial support, and empowerment for vulnerable groups.

Healthcare & HIV Prevention.

We provide HIV testing, STI treatment, ART enrollment, PrEP and PEP support, and maternal healthcare services for pregnant sex workers, ensuring no woman is left behind.

We document and challenge human rights violations, offer legal aid and psychosocial support, and run campaigns to reduce stigma and discrimination against women and sex workers.
