Generational Advocacy by Youth to End FGM (GAYEF)
About the GAYEF Project:
Co-funded with a gant from The Girl Generation, the GAYEF seeks to empower young people with knowledge and skills to become change agents to end FGM in Nigeria. It will also promote youth-led advocacy for the domestication of the Violence against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Act 2015 (a federal law that bans FGM in Nigeria) by the federating states.
