Muzvare Betty Makoni is a Multi-Award winner with over 32 awards including CNN Hero Awards. She is the founder of Girl Child Network Worldwide. A charity established in 2009 and officially registered as a charity in 2010. Girl Child Network Worldwide brings a unique model to help many girls whose lives are threatened globally. Recently, she was selected to be in the team of UK experts for Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative.
Betty Makoni launched her book - "Never Again, not to any woman or girl again" in UK , USA and Zimbabwe which has gone viral amongst African girls in and outside Europe. To think a story could inspire and empower like this and expose more abuse in the home, school and community is something that has moved us to this charity which has find a way for girls to break silence and remain strong.
Muzvare Betty Makoni was featured by Metro Newspaper which is the third largest newspaper in UK exposing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and challenging UK to step up prosecutions of perpetrators because girls who experience FGM go through trauma and pain. She went on to share her personal experience of Female Genital Mutilation which traumatised her at age 8. Since then some pro FGM campaigners have formed a Facebook page to campaign against her stance to have FGM which is labia elongation stopped on minors. She has been threatened and insulted from every corner. FGM campaigns are happening everywhere in the world.
11 October 2013 is United Nations Day of the Girl Child and the Official Launch of the program and Awards for girls which will be held at Our Lady`s Convent with Betty Makoni as Official Special Guest. Scores of girls are expected to witness this historical view. United Nations declared 11 October to be day to advance the rights of girls globally. The DVD on the Never Again Royal night will be launched and rolled out worldwide to inspire many women and girls on what can be done to stop violence against women and girls.
