BOYS FOR CHANGE PROGRAM

600 boys in 2017 enrolled to the Boys for Change program. These boys champion for girls rights and are advocates of change, fighting FGM and Early Marriage in their villages.

In 2015 there were 63 men who volunteered to champion against FGM and forced early marriages and the number doubled in 2016.

“We will not accept FGM in our communities anymore, it is a violation and contributes to poverty in our societies because this practice encourages our sisters to get married early and they do not go to school, as Boys For Change, we say NO TO FGM.”
