In a landmark move to protect women in digital spaces, the Centre for Redefining Alternative Civic Engagement for Africa, RACE Centre, has launched Nigeria’s first AI-Enabled Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) Tracker.

The AI-enabled tracker, the first of its kind in Nigeria, has already documented over 20,000 verified cases of online violence across major social media platforms.

According to RACE Centre, the tool uses machine learning, localized keywords, and context analysis to detect, categorize, and monitor OGBV in real time across Nigerian and African digital spaces.
