Agada emerged winner from nearly 300 applicants nationwide, beating three other finalists in her category—an achievement that underscores her growing impact in promoting the health, safety, and dignity of women and girls.

“This recognition is not just about me — it represents every woman and girl whose health, safety, and dignity must be protected at every stage of life. It is a call to do more, reach further, and ensure no one is left behind.”
She noted that the award reflects the collective efforts of partners and communities, while stressing the need for greater investment and collaboration in women’s health and safety.
