I had the privilege of interviewing Isaac, the founder and executive director of Mordacai Care Foundation of Nigerian MoCA Fund. Isaac shared a deeply personal story from his teenage years that shaped his dedication to advocating for women and gender-based violence survivors. Witnessing his father's abuse towards his mother ignited a passion within Isaac to fight against gender-based violence and uplift underserved communities.
Isaac's organization has been actively involved in advocating for women's rights and supporting survivors of gender-based violence for over 10 years. Through their work, they have taken numerous cases to court, provided mediation between survivors and perpetrators, and established community response teams to address violence effectively.
One of the key issues Isaac highlighted was the prevalence of poverty as a contributing factor to gender-based violence. He emphasized the importance of empowering women economically and increasing female representation in government to combat gender inequality.
Isaac also shared insights into their approach to engaging traditional communities, where they secure buy-in from local leaders by presenting gifts and educating community members about the legal consequences of domestic violence. By sensitizing communities and establishing support systems, Isaac's organization has successfully reduced violence in marginalized areas.
Looking ahead, Isaac envisions expanding Mordacai Care Foundation's impact by establishing a GBV survivor care center and supporting vulnerable orphans. He also plans to establish a presence in the United States to further their advocacy efforts globally.
I was inspired by Isaac's commitment to creating positive change and his innovative approach to addressing gender-based violence. I look forward to following up with him in a year to track the progress of his organization and continue supporting their important work. Thank you to all the listeners for being a part of this impactful episode of the ENYTinG Gender podcast.

As the host of the ENYTinG Gender podcast, I had the privilege of interviewing Isaac, the founder of the Moedacai Care Foundation of Nigerian MoCA Fund. Isaac shared a powerful personal story that inspired his advocacy work against gender-based violence. He witnessed his father abusing his mother at a young age, which fueled his commitment to defending women's rights. Isaac's foundation focuses on providing support to GBV survivors and vulnerable children, with plans to establish a care center in the future.
Isaac discussed his approach to raising awareness in traditional communities, emphasizing the importance of engaging with local leaders and educating community members about their rights. He highlighted the need for gender equality in political representation and shared his vision for the foundation's future growth and impact.
I was impressed by Isaac's dedication to empowering women and creating a safe environment for survivors of gender-based violence. His innovative approach of integrating survivors and orphans in a care center shows his commitment to holistic support and empowerment. I look forward to following up with Isaac in a year to track the progress of his foundation and continue supporting his important work in the field of gender advocacy.
