Magaji noted that human rights advocacy should not be left to formal activists alone but should filter into lifestyle, beauty, and environmental spaces.
Amnesty International Nigeria has called on micro-influencers across the country to play a more active role in documenting human rights abuses, promoting civic engagement and defending fundamental freedoms, while stressing the importance of safety, factual reporting and ethical content creation.
The call was made during a two-day Micro-Influencer Human Rights Training held in Lagos under Amnesty International Nigeria's ongoing project, "Strengthening Human Rights Defenders to Protect Civic Space," supported by the German Embassy in Nigeria.
The training, described by organisers as the first of its kind, brought together 20 micro-influencers from different parts of Lagos and diverse content niches, including governance, climate advocacy, youth development, fashion and lifestyle.
Participants were equipped with skills on human rights reporting, digital security, storytelling, ethical content creation and civic engagement.
