Karimot’s leadership has catalysed significant change. In response to rising violence against women in Nigeria, she organized the Ibadan Walk Against Rape, rallying communities to demand justice. Her efforts led to Oyo State’s first Sexual Assault Referral Centre and the passage of the Child Sexual Offences Bill, setting a crucial precedent in the fight against gender-based violence.

Through Black Girl’s Dream Initiative, she is breaking barriers to education by equipping young women with essential skills and creating opportunities for out-of-school children. Their Ibadan Schools' Debate Training and Competition has trained over 1,100 students across 55 schools in public speaking, debate, and research. Meanwhile, the Èkó Dára program reintegrates out-of-school children into government schools, providing tuition, school supplies, mentorship, and economic support for families.

Beyond grassroots efforts, Karimot is influencing global education policy. She co-presented the Youth Declaration at the UN General Assembly, advocating for inclusive learning opportunities, particularly for girls. Believing in storytelling as a tool for change, she also uses poetry to spark dialogue and inspire action. Her work has been recognized by bodies such as UNESCO and Plan International, and in 2022 she was named an SDG Young Leader for her contributions to gender equality and education.
