Kehinde Abereoje a 2022 graduate from the Public Health Department was a recipient of the Diana Award; The highest accolade a young person can achieve for social action and Humanitarian efforts. She received the award based on her work with Purple Pact Initiative, an initiative she founded.
Kehinde began advocating for women’s equality in Nigeria at 16, helping displaced women and girls during a period of intense insecurity in the country. She soon founded the ‘Purple Pact Initiative’, so far reaching over 10,000 people across 30% of Nigeria’s states. The completely youth-led initiative recently established a student representative network across Nigeria, as well as over 500 supporters around the world. Despite pushback and funding challenges, she persevered, providing reusable period products, supporting girls' education, and combating period poverty through education, advocacy, and resources. Kehinde's vision is clear: to create a world where women and children stand on equal footing in society, free from harmful norms and discriminatory laws.
