African Girls Empowerment Network (AGE)

The AGE Network was formed by highly enthusiastic and vulnerable young women in Nigeria who are victims of child marriage, teenage mothers and have experienced sexual abused, domestic violence, stigma, and discrimination at first hand due to their gender, different sexual orientation and health status.

It was established in October 2015 as a Charity/Community Based Organization with the primary focus to end child marriage and advance gender equality in girls’ education, promote young women’s good health, leadership and economic inclusion in Africa for a Fairer Future.
