The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERs) is a
Nigeria-based registered non-for-profit organisation working to protect and
promote the human rights of sexual minorities nationally and
regionally. We’re committed to bringing about a society that is free from
discrimination and harm on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender
identity. We work towards this goal through education, empowerment and
engagement with the many publics in Nigeria. We were founded in 2005
as a response to the discrimination and marginalisation of sexual
minorities in both HIV prevention programming and mainstream human
rights work.
