AGE Network Launches Speak up and Health Campaign to support victims of Gender based violence

We are African Girls Empowerment Network (AGE Network), a registered young feminine frontline civil society organization dedicated to reducing gender inequality by empowering and advancing the human rights of young women and girls.

We are launching  AGE Cares 16Days of Activism Campaign to help women/girls facing gender-based violence speak up and heal.

Are you a woman who has had your own share of Gender -Based Violence of any kind( sexual violence, rape, child marriage, domestic violence, etc.) and you are suffering in silence?

Are you bold and would you like to join other women to speak up and share your story?

Then Join AGE Cares 16Days of Activism to help women/girls facing gender-based violence speak up and heal Campaign to share your lived experience.

Share your lived experience on Gender-based Violence to aid your recovery and  assist others  in learning

Speaking up and sharing your lived experience will not only help you heal and overcome the stigma and damaging mental health effects of abuse but it will also help other women know that they are not alone and together we will break the silence culture and end violence against women and girls.

The AGE Cares 16Days of Activism to help women/girls facing gender-based violence speak up and heal Campaign seeks to stand in solidarity with our women who are facing violence because they’re women by giving them the opportunity to speak up and share their lived experiences.

Each day during the 2022 16Days of Activism, we will be helping 1 woman share her story on Gender-based violence.

You can be a part of the campaign by sharing your story or referring someone who is bold and will like to share her story and speak up against SGBV.
