The Bisi Alimi Foundation (BAF) is a non-profit organization founded in 2015, and registered in England and Wales, but operating in Nigeria as a result of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act 2013 (SSMPA). The foundation aspires to create a Nigeria in which everyone is treated equally, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.[1][2][3]
