This invitation extends to all media professionals — reporters, journalists, editors, and communication and content creators — who are looking to deepen their understanding and refine their approach to covering FGM/C.

• The prevalence and complexity of FGM/C within diverse cultural contexts in the U.S.
• The importance of engaging with survivors or those at risk with informed sensitivity.
• Strategies for using media platforms to raise awareness and educate the public on FGM/C.
