Project aims
To educate raise awareness of the dangers of female genital mutilation by running grassroots campaigns led by frontline organisations and survivors.
Project description
We intend to scale-up our anti-FGM campaigning in The Gambia to protect the ban on female genital mutilation amongst a rising climate that is in favour of the practice and recent debate to overturn the 2015 bill that outlaws FGM.
Our strategy involves media bootcamps to teach grassroots activists to effectively use the media to raise awareness, targeted media campaigns, community outreach and survivor-led trauma workshops. These campaigns are able to effectively reach thousands to change attitudes towards this brutal practice that is the number one cause of death of women in Africa.
FGM is a serious violation of human rights, preventing girls from receiving a full education, increasing the risks of child marriage, and suffering during sexual intercourse and childbirth.
