Queen Elizabeth II recognises local woman

Simogun’s nonprofit organisation has supported over 6,000 victims of gender-based violence.

The organisation also aims to overturn the cultural norms that negatively impact women.

Following high levels of domestic violence in her community, Simogun founded the charity to support women and girls and is addressing the root causes of domestic violence by working with schools and local law enforcement.

Each Commonwealth Point of Light will receive a personalised certificate signed by the Queen as Head of the Commonwealth.
