Early life

Edeh was born in Enugu, Nigeria.[1] She became deaf when she was five.[4] Her parents wanted her to quit school and learn to be a seamstress or hairdresser.[4] Edeh wanted to stay in school.[4] She braided people's hair to save up money to go to college.[4] She went to Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, and learned sign language there.[4] She studied at University of Ilorin, in Kwara State.[2] Edeh then studied at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota, USA.[2]

Career

Edeh noticed the amount of human rights violations disabled people go through every day.[4] She wanted to do something about it.[4] She believed that laws that protected disabled people needed to be put in place in Nigeria.[4] Edeh got her Bachelor of Laws Degree at University of Ilorin.[1] She was the only deaf person in her class.[1] Edeh also studied in the U.S.[1] She went to University of Minnesota.[1]

Edeh is the Executive Director of Voice of Disability Initiative.[3][5] Their goal is to inspire disabled people, especially women.[3] VDI also wants to protect the rights of disabled people.[3][5][6]

Edeh has been helping deaf people go to the Enugu State University of Science and Technology.[2] She did not have a secondary school near her home where she could study.[2] She had to go far away for school.[2] So, she wants a school deaf students can attend in the south part of Nigeria.[2]

Edeh also works to protect deaf girls from violence.[2][7] She works for better healthcare fir girls with disabilities.[7][8]

Personal life

Edeh married a deaf man to avoid being mistreated by a hearing husband.[1][9]
