Why the Forum
In Nigeria, infertility is still surrounded by deep cultural sensitivity, stigma, and silence. For many individuals and families, the journey to parenthood is not only emotionally demanding but also shaped by social pressure, misunderstanding, and limited public conversation. This makes safe, informed, and compassionate spaces for dialogue especially important.
The Nigeria Assisted Parenthood Forum was created to help meet that need. Founded and convened by Undiga Emuekpere, the Forum serves as an ongoing platform for conversations about assisted parenthood in Nigeria, including surrogacy, donor conception, and adoption. It brings together voices across law, fertility medicine, advocacy, family-building support, and lived experience to encourage greater awareness, stronger collaboration, and more responsible practice.
The Forum also recognises the importance of visible advocates and ambassadors who can help break the silence, widen public understanding, and bring these often private experiences into more informed and constructive conversation. Their role is vital in building trust, reducing stigma, and helping more people feel seen, supported, and represented.
A key part of this work is developing practical resources that can guide both professionals and the public. The Guide, as the Forum’s first publication, is an important milestone: a first-of-its-kind resource designed to support more informed engagement with assisted parenthood in Nigeria. It reflects the Forum’s broader commitment not only to conversation, but also to education, clarity, and lasting impact.
