Meet Iwatutu Joyce, an amazing Lady providing a Safe Space for adolescent girls in Nigeria

Iwatutu Joyce at the Partners Forum 2018 Iwatutu Joyce Adewole is a young woman providing a Safe Space for Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Nigeria. It was Thursday morning when I reached out to a friend to give me a list of Individuals and Organizations providing sexual and reproductive health and rights to Adolescents and young people. She gave me a long list and I began to type each name on Google to check their profile, the whole essence is to interview them and write an article. And then I typed Iwatutu Joyce Adewole on Google and I saw that The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health made a post about her in December 2018 and clicked on the link and it took me to their twitter page where they made this post.
