Founded in 1973, Ipas is a global nongovernmental organization dedicated to ending preventable deaths and disabilities from unsafe abortion. Through local, national and global partnerships, Ipas works to ensure that women can obtain safe, respectful and comprehensive abortion care, including counseling and contraception to prevent future unintended pregnancies. At Ipas, we believe that: Every woman has a right to safe reproductive health choices, including safe abortion care. No woman should have to risk her life, her health, her fertility, her well-being or the well-being of her family because she lacks reproductive health care. Women everywhere must have the opportunity to determine their futures, care for their families and manage their fertility. Along with caring, committed health professionals and other colleagues worldwide, Ipas tackles this neglected public health problem head on in some of the world’s poorest countries. While many international donors and governments have focused attention and resources elsewhere, we struggle against the fundamental social injustice that results in the deaths of so many women in the prime of their lives.

Nigeria is a signatory to most international and regional legal instruments that protect the rights of women and girls from Gender-Based Violence and guarantees their rights to comprehensive medical care and access to justice. In fulfillment of this commitment, the Nigerian government enacted the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act (VAPP Act 2015), which is the most comprehensive law in Nigeria that protects women and girls from all forms of Gender-Based Violence. Based on Nigeria’s legal system, the states have the power to adopt the law, to suit their context, and many states in Nigeria have adopted the VAPP law.
Ipas Nigeria seeks to engage the services of a technically competent organization as a partner to design, edit, and produce a video version of the Abridged Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act to educate and sensitize women and girls with hearing impairment on their rights under the VAPP Act and provide them with information on where to seek comprehensive medical care and access justice if their rights are violated.
The scope entails the production of video modules with appropriate duration for various media platforms e.g TV monitors in health facilities, social media, websites etc. The specific scope of work will include, but not be limited to:
- Creating a series of videos on the Abridged VAPP Act.
- Each video should incorporate sign language to help audiences, especially women and girls, with hearing impairments interpret the provisions of the Law.
- Using the Human-Centered Design (HCD/UCD) approach to pre-test the content with a focus group of women with hearing impairment to obtain their feedback. Ipas Nigeria will support organizing the focus group.
Ipas Nigeria intends to leverage the technical expertise of one of her partners to incorporate sign language for the videos.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
- Video series for each section of the Abridged VAPP law that incorporates sign language for persons with hearing impairment. The expected video products will include:
