Ogunrotimi has led gender-focused interventions in over 50 rural communities across Nigeria, advocating for safe spaces for vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls.[10] Her initiatives have reached over 100,000 beneficiaries through legal empowerment, public awareness campaigns, and institutional partnerships.[11]
Founded by Ogunrotimi, the Gender Mobile Initiative (GMI) works to eliminate gender-based violence through policy reform, technology adoption, and capacity building. GMI launched the Campus Safety Initiative, which supports Nigerian universities in developing sexual harassment policies, implementing bystander intervention strategies, and integrating digital tools for case management.[13][14] GMI also engages in public education, legal support, and research to advance gender equality and improve institutional responses to gender-based violence.[15]
In 2023, she was elected to the Ashoka Fellowship for her systems-change approach to combating sexual harassment in Nigerian universities.[18]
In 2025, Ogunrotimi received the Global Citizen Prize for her leadership in advancing gender equality and creating safe learning environments through the Gender Mobile Initiative.[1]
