Description/notes
ORRA is a women-led community-based organization which started in 2012 as a pressure group to protect the rights of the refinery project-affected persons especially women and youth.
Through lobby, research and community education, ORRA works with oil project directly affected communities, CSOs, and cultural, religious and local government leaders to ensure that the rights of vulnerable communities are given priority and protected amidst the oil developments.
