VFN Heroes Club in Nigeria is a safe space for school girls to meet fortnightly and discuss gender-based violence issues that affect their lives and their futures. The group particularly focuses on the prevalence of female genital mutilation (FGM) in Osun State, where one third of girls are mutilated before the age of 15. VFN Heroes Club operates in 38 schools in Osun State and has 2832 members aged 10-19. These girls are now equipped with the information sufficient to take a stand against FGM and also enlighten their families on its harmful effects.
