then carry those discussions into families and neighboring villages. In 1997, Malicounda Bambara made a landmark public declaration abandoning FGM. Thousands of communities later followed the model, making collective change, not outside coercion central to Tostan’s approach. #fgm #humanrights

#FGM in #TheGambia: “the outcome of The State v. #FatouCamara and Others reminds us that the legitimacy of the criminal justice system depends not only on the outcome of a case”, but on an adherence to the rule of law. www.jurist.org/commentary/2...

2018-10-25 - Gender Reassignment

Another #based take from #StoneToss exposing the misandrist double standard at the core of the #circumcision issue. In light of increasing awareness of the trans and nonbinary phenomena, otherwise "liberal" parents unwittingly do #FGM... OOPS!

Much-needed #based take from #StoneToss with a twist that exposes a hypocritical double-standard. "Muh (((hygiene))) and everyone does it and it looks nicer..." Why is genital cutting of girls a war crime but a trivial parental choice for boys? #FGM

Excited to share two new publications on #FGM/C in Europe published in Studies in Family Planning and The Lancet Regional Health – Europe @thelancet.com @wileyonlinelibrary.bsky.social

#FemaleGenitalMutilation #FGM #StopFGM

📰 $15m fund launched to create ‘unstoppable momentum’ to end FGM worldwide

#Kenia: Ein Kollege hat dieses Foto von mir gemacht. Ich mag es sehr. Ich bin darauf im Gespräch mit einer unserer RAIN WORKER+. Wie bei den TREETINGS nutzen auch wir den Schattenplatz, um uns auszutauschen. Sie ist Hebamme und erzählt mir über ihre Arbeit mit Frauen, die von #FGM betroffen sind.
