Nigeria's Hauwa Ojeifo nominated for MTV EMA Generation Change Award

Founder of She Writes Woman, Nigeria's Hauwa Ojeifo, has been nominated for the first-ever MTV EMA Generation Change Award, an award that recognises young people who are making efforts to change the world.
Speaking on the nomination, the 26-year-old Queen's Young Leader awardee told Guardian Life, "Honestly, it's incredibly humbling to realise that the work we do through She Writes Woman is being recognised halfway across the world. I'm just happy to see the shift in how people receive the topic of mental health and sexual violence. #GenerationSafe to me, is raising a generation that creates Safe places you can talk without fear and be heard without judgment. So I pray we win this at #MTVEMA"


The awards will be presented during the red carpet at the MTV EMA2018 in Spain on the 4th of November.
