Join us and partners for this virtual event on August 22nd. This session will focus on ways of framing FGM/C that respect cultural contexts while advocating for the prevention of the practice and support for survivors. This session will cover understanding the types, prevalence, and health risks of FGM/C, explore the cultural and social contexts that sustain the practice, and address misconceptions about who is impacted by FGM/C, emphasizing its global and local nature. Additionally, the session highlights how the manner in which FGM/C is framed in discussions and media can significantly influence the movement to end the practice. Participants will learn how framing shapes public perception, informs policy decisions, and enhances community engagement, taking away practices for sensitive and respectful conversations to support these goals.
