"Every voice deserves to be heard — especially those silenced by fear."

Tokam Initiative, 2023
🔒 100% Anonymous

Born from urgency.
Built with purpose.

Tokam was created in response to a deeply troubling reality: survivors of Gender-Based Violence in Nigeria were suffering in silence. Stigma, fear, and a lack of accessible, trustworthy systems kept countless incidents unreported — and perpetrators unaccountable.

We believed technology could change that. By building a secure, anonymous platform that connects survivors directly to legal aid, healthcare professionals, and law enforcement — we created a bridge between silence and justice.

Today, Tokam is more than an app. It's a movement — a community-powered initiative to reshape how Nigeria responds to gender-based violence, one report at a time.

Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To empower every individual — regardless of gender, age, or location — to safely report incidents of Gender-Based Violence and receive immediate access to the support they need: legal aid, healthcare, counseling, and law enforcement intervention.

We do this by combining secure technology with human-centered design, ensuring that no survivor ever faces their experience alone.

Our Vision

A Nigeria — and ultimately an Africa — where every individual feels safe, protected, and confident that justice and comprehensive support are always within reach, no matter who they are or where they live.

We envision communities where GBV is not tolerated, where survivors are uplifted, and where data drives policy that prevents violence before it occurs.

Why this work
cannot wait.

Gender-Based Violence remains one of the most underreported crimes in the world — and Nigeria is no exception. Stigma, distrust, and inaccessible systems have historically kept survivors silent and perpetrators free.

Tokam bridges this gap by combining the power of anonymity, mobile technology, and rapid response infrastructure — ensuring that every report leads to real action, not more silence.

1 in 3 women in Nigeria has experienced some form of gender-based violence in her lifetime, according to the NPC.
Over 80% of cases go unreported due to fear of stigma, retaliation, or distrust in the formal justice system.
Delayed response costs lives Without fast access to support, survivors face compounding trauma, health risks, and lost legal windows.
Technology changes everything Tokam's platform reduces barriers to reporting and connects survivors to help within minutes, not days.
